Question

5/8÷7/16+1/2 simplify please help me I will Mark as brilliant​

Answer 1

Answer:18/7

Step-by-step explanation: first we'll find out the LCM of the denominators so we can proceed to do the operations.

LCM of 8,16 and 2 is 16

next converting them such that the denominator is 16 by multiplying

5/8* 2 = 10/16

7/16* 1 = 7/16

1/2*   8 = 8/16

10/16  + 8/16 = 18/16

18/16 divided by 7/16 = 18/16 multiplied by reciprocal of 7/16 which is 16/7

18/16 multiplied by 16/7 is 288/112

288/112 in its simplest form is  18/7

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{27}{14}$

Step-by-step explanation:

• Given expression:

$\frac{5}{8}\div \frac{7}{16}+\frac{1}{2}$

• According to the BODMAS rule, the expression can be written as

$\frac{5}{8} \times\frac{16}{7} +\frac{1}{2}$

$=\frac{10}{7}+\frac{1}{2}$

• On adding the fractions, we get

$=\frac{20+7}{14}$

$=\frac{27}{14}$

Hence, the answer is $\frac{27}{14}$.
