Question

(1/2)+3/5 /[9/10-(-3/5)]=

I got 1.5 is this correct? If not could you please show me how to do this?

If Steve answers thank you so much for all your help you are awesome:))

Answer 1

From the way you have it written, I am assuming that the divisor is only for the second term (3/5).

(1/2)+3/5 /[9/10-(-3/5)] =

A minus times a minus = a plus.

(1/2)+3/5 /[9/10+3/5)] =

To make it easier, convert to decimals and combine the two denominator terms.

.5 + .6/(.9+.6) = .5 + .6/1.5 =

.5 + .4 = .9
