Question

$$13\div26\times5+4-5$$

Evaluate

$\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction $\frac{13}{26}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $13$.

$$\frac{1}{2}\times 5+4-5$$

Multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ and $5$ to get $\frac{5}{2}$.

$$\frac{5}{2}+4-5$$

Convert $4$ to fraction $\frac{8}{2}$.

$$\frac{5}{2}+\frac{8}{2}-5$$

Since $\frac{5}{2}$ and $\frac{8}{2}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+8}{2}-5$$

Add $5$ and $8$ to get $13$.

$$\frac{13}{2}-5$$

Convert $5$ to fraction $\frac{10}{2}$.

$$\frac{13}{2}-\frac{10}{2}$$

Since $\frac{13}{2}$ and $\frac{10}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{13-10}{2}$$

Subtract $10$ from $13$ to get $3$.

$$\frac{3}{2}$$
