Question

What is the value of the expression below? (4/5+3/5)+3.5*5

Answer 1

Explanation:

(4/5+3/5)+3.5*5

= 7/5+7/2*5

= 7/5+35/2

= 14/10+175/10

= 189/10

= 18.9

Answer 2

The value of the expression is 18.9

Explanation:

The expression is:

`\bigg( (4)/(5)+(3)/(5)\bigg)+3.5* 5`

The first step is to solve the parenthesis. As both fractions have the same denominator, the numerators must be added:

`\bigg( (4+3)/(5)\bigg)+3.5* 5`

`\bigg( (7)/(5)\bigg)+3.5* 5`

The second step is to perform the division between 7 and 5, it is 1.4:

`1.4+3.5* 5`

The third step is to perform the multiplication between 3.5 and 5, it is 17.5:

`1.4+17.5`

The last step is to perform the sum, it is 18.9:

`1.4+17.5=18.9`

Thus, the value of the expression is 18.9.
