Question

$$2/9+0.5+8/9$$

Evaluate

$\frac{29}{18}\approx 1.611111111$

Solution Steps

Convert decimal number $0.5$ to fraction $\frac{5}{10}$. Reduce the fraction $\frac{5}{10}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $5$.

$$\frac{2}{9}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{8}{9}$$

Least common multiple of $9$ and $2$ is $18$. Convert $\frac{2}{9}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $18$.

$$\frac{4}{18}+\frac{9}{18}+\frac{8}{9}$$

Since $\frac{4}{18}$ and $\frac{9}{18}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{4+9}{18}+\frac{8}{9}$$

Add $4$ and $9$ to get $13$.

$$\frac{13}{18}+\frac{8}{9}$$

Least common multiple of $18$ and $9$ is $18$. Convert $\frac{13}{18}$ and $\frac{8}{9}$ to fractions with denominator $18$.

$$\frac{13}{18}+\frac{16}{18}$$

Since $\frac{13}{18}$ and $\frac{16}{18}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{13+16}{18}$$

Add $13$ and $16$ to get $29$.

$$\frac{29}{18}$$
