Question

$$5\frac{3}{2}-5-\frac{1}{2}$$

Evaluate

$1$

Solution Steps

Multiply $5$ and $2$ to get $10$.

$$\frac{10+3}{2}-5-\frac{1}{2}$$

Add $10$ and $3$ to get $13$.

$$\frac{13}{2}-5-\frac{1}{2}$$

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

$$\frac{13}{2}-\frac{10}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$$

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

$$\frac{13-10}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$$

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

$$\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Since $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{3-1}{2}$$

Subtract $1$ from $3$ to get $2$.

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

Divide $2$ by $2$ to get $1$.

$$1$$
