what is the sum 1/2b+b/2

1 answer

The sum of 1/2b + b/2 is equal to 3/2b.

To solve this, we first need to find a common denominator for 1/2b and b/2. The common denominator is 2, so we can rewrite 1/2b as b/2b and b/2 as b^2/2b.

Now we can add the fractions together:

b/2b + b^2/2b
= (b + b^2)/2b
= (b(1 + b))/2b
= b(1 + b)/2b
= (1 + b)/2

Therefore, 1/2b + b/2 = (1 + b)/2.
