Question

$$[\{1/2\}^{-1}+\{1/3\}^{-1}]^{-1}$$

Evaluate

$\frac{1}{5}=0.2$

Solution Steps

Calculate $\frac{1}{2}$ to the power of $-1$ and get $2$.

$$\left(2+\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{-1}\right)^{-1}$$

Calculate $\frac{1}{3}$ to the power of $-1$ and get $3$.

$$\left(2+3\right)^{-1}$$

Add $2$ and $3$ to get $5$.

$$5^{-1}$$

Calculate $5$ to the power of $-1$ and get $\frac{1}{5}$.

$$\frac{1}{5}$$

Factor

$\frac{1}{5} = 0.2$
