Solve 69/12+23/4

$$6 \frac{ 9 }{ 12 } +2 \frac{ 3 }{ 4 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{19}{2}=9.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 6 and 12 to get 72.

$$\frac{72+9}{12}+\frac{2\times 4+3}{4}$$

Add 72 and 9 to get 81.

$$\frac{81}{12}+\frac{2\times 4+3}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{81}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{27}{4}+\frac{2\times 4+3}{4}$$

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$\frac{27}{4}+\frac{8+3}{4}$$

Add 8 and 3 to get 11.

$$\frac{27}{4}+\frac{11}{4}$$

Since \frac{27}{4} and \frac{11}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{27+11}{4}$$

Add 27 and 11 to get 38.

$$\frac{38}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{38}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{19}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{19}{2} = 9\frac{1}{2} = 9.5$$
