What is 12 8/15 − 7 + 7 15 + 15? Simplify your answer.

Answer 1

To simplify this expression, we need to perform addition and subtraction in the correct order.

First, let's add the mixed numbers:
7 15/15 + 15 = 7 30/15 + 15 = 8 2/15

Next, we add the whole numbers:
12 + 8 = 20

Now, let's put it all together:
20 2/15 - 7 + 8 2/15

Since the fractions have the same denominator, we can combine them:
20 + 8 + 2/15 - 7

Simplifying further, we get:
28 + 2/15 - 7

Now, let's find a common denominator for the fractions:
28 + 2/15 - 7 = 28 - 7 + 2/15

Continuing to simplify, we get:
21 + 2/15

Therefore, the simplified answer is 21 2/15.

Answer 2

What is 12 8/15 − 7 + 7/15 + 15? Simplify your answer.

Answer 3

To simplify the expression, we first add the mixed numbers:

12 + 7 = 19

Now, we add the fractions:

8/15 + 7/15 = (8 + 7)/15 = 15/15 = 1

Lastly, we add 1 and 15:

19 + 1 + 15 = 35

Therefore, the simplified answer is 35.
