Question

1. Simplify the rational expression (5 3/2)(5 1/2)

Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\mathsf{5 (3)/(2) * 5(1)/(2)}`

`\mathsf{= (5*2+3)/(2)*(5*2+1)/(2)}`

`\mathsf{= (10 + 3)/(2)*(10 + 1)/(2)}`

`\mathsf{= (13)/(2)*(11)/(2)}`

`\mathsf{= (13*11)/(2*2)}`

`\mathsf{= (143)/(4)}`

`\mathsf{= 35 (3)/(4)}`

`\huge\textsf{Therefore, your answer should be:}`

`\huge\boxed{\frak{= 35 (3)/(4)}}\huge\checkmark`
