pls answer​

Answer 1

Given: $5/8 + 17/20 + 12/25- 7/16$

We have to simplify the above equation.

• By using the Bodmas rule, we are solving the above equation.
• As we know that the Bodmas rule is used to remember the order of operations to be followed while solving expressions in mathematics.

Where,

$\begin{array}{l}\mathrm{B}=\text{brackets}\\\mathrm{O}=\text { order of powers or rules } \\\mathrm{D}=\text { division } \\\mathrm{M}=\text { multiplication } \\\mathrm{A}=\text { addition } \\\mathrm{S}=\text { subtraction }\end{array}$

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

$5/8 + 17/20 + 12/25- 7/16$

$\begin{array}{l}=5 / 8+17 / 20+12 / 25-7 / 16 \\=0.625+17 / 20+12 / 25-7 / 16 \\=0.625+0.85+12 / 25-7 / 16 \\=0.625+0.85+0.48-7 / 16 \\=0.625+0.85+0.48-0.4375 \\=1.475+0.48-0.4375 \\=1.955-0.4375 \\=1.5175\end{array}$

Hence, the solution of the above equation$1.5175$.
