Question

10. Solve 5(1/2) + 6(1/2) - 8(1/4)
A. 2(3/4)
B. 3(3/4)
C. 2(1/4)
D. None of these​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$5 \frac{ 1}{2} + 6 \frac{1}{2} - 8 \frac{1}{4}$

$= > \frac{11}{2} + \frac{13}{2} - \frac{33}{4}$

$= > \frac{11 + 13}{2} - \frac{33}{4}$

$= > \frac{24}{2} - \frac{33}{4}$

$= > \frac{48 - 33}{4}$

$= > \frac{15}{4}$

$= > 3 \frac{3}{4}$

Option b is correct.

hope it helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

A fraction is a piece of a whole number that can be divided into equal pieces. It's written as the numerator (the number of equal parts being counted) divided by the denominator (the number of parts in the total). There is a line between these numbers.

Given:

The expression is $5(\frac{1}{2} ) + 6(\frac{1}{2} ) - 8(\frac{1}{4} )$.

Find:

Simplify the given expression.

Solution:

Consider, $5(\frac{1}{2} ) + 6(\frac{1}{2} ) - 8(\frac{1}{4} )$

Simplify further

$5(\frac{1}{2} ) + 6(\frac{1}{2} ) - 8(\frac{1}{4} )$

$=\frac{11}{2}+\frac{13}{2}-\frac{33}{4}$

$=\frac{11+13}{2}-\frac{33}{4}$

$=\frac{24}{2}-\frac{33}{4}$

$=\frac{48-33}{4}$

$=\frac{15}{4}$

$=3 \frac{3}{4}$

Therefore, Option (B) is the correct answer.
