Question

14 + to divide 4 - 0.5 into 3
​

Answer 1

Step by Step Solution



Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.5" was replaced by "(5/10)".

STEP1:

1 Simplify — 2

Equation at the end of step1:

2 1 (14 + —) - (— • 3) 4 2

STEP2:

1 Simplify — 2

Equation at the end of step2:

1 3 (14 + —) - — 2 2

STEP3:Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

 3.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

14 14 • 2 14 = —— = —————— 1 2

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

14 • 2 + 1 29 —————————— = —— 2 2

Equation at the end of step3:

29 3 —— - — 2 2

STEP4:

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 4.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

29 - (3) 13 ———————— = —— 2 1

Final result :

13
