Question

Evaluate the expression 1/4 x (3/9 + 5)
Choices:1 1/3,1 2/3,5,answer not here.

Answer 1

First option

Explanation:

Given the following equation:


`(1)/(4) *((3)/(9) +5)`

In order to find the answer, we solve the equation in between the parenthesis according to order of operations and then multiply that answer by 1/4.



`(1)/(4) *((3)/(9) +5)`

`5=(5)/(1)`

`(3)/(9) +(5)/(1)`

`3*1=3`

`9*1=9`

`5*9=45`

`1*9=9`

`(3)/(9) +(45)/(9)`

`3+45=48=(48)/(9)`

`(48)/(9) /3=(16)/(3)`


`(1)/(4) *(16)/(3)`

`1*16=16`

`4*3=12`

`(16)/(12) /2=(8)/(6) /2=(4)/(3)`

`(4)/(3) =4/3=1(1)/(3)`

`=1(1)/(3)`

Hope this helps.
