Solve 61/2+quad31/2

$$6 \frac { 1 } { 2 } + \quad 3 \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$10$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 6 and 2 to get 12.

$$\frac{12+1}{2}+\frac{3\times 2+1}{2}$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{2}+\frac{3\times 2+1}{2}$$

Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.

$$\frac{13}{2}+\frac{6+1}{2}$$

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

$$\frac{13}{2}+\frac{7}{2}$$

Since \frac{13}{2} and \frac{7}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{13+7}{2}$$

Add 13 and 7 to get 20.

$$\frac{20}{2}$$

Divide 20 by 2 to get 10.

$$10$$

Factor

$$2\times 5$$
