Question

I need Help please :(

Answer 1

`(51)/(6)`

or

`8 * (1)/(2)`

(depending on what you need)

or you can write it just like 8.5

Explanation:

So I think it says,

`8 * (5)/(12) =`

and then,

`+31 * (1)/(6) =`

So- I'm guessing the question overall would look like the following:

`(8 * (5)/(12)) + 31 * (1)/(6) =`

The parenthesis is simple enough. 5×8 = 40

`(40)/(12) + 31 * (1)/(6) =`

And the second half is even simpler since 31×1 = 31:

`(40)/(12) + (31)/(6) =`

Okay and now we can shorten the left fraction, which means that we cut it in half.

`(20)/(6) + (31)/(6) =`

Almost done, now we just add them together.

`= (51)/(6)`

There we have it. And if needed you can also write it like:

`8 * (3)/(6)`

(which would be:)

`8 * (1)/(2)`
