Question

2 1/4 x4/5 ÷ 3/5 - 1/2

Answer 1

• 2.5.
• 2 1/2.

Explanation:

We need to solve in the most hard way.

Equation simplified:

• ((((2 1/4) * 4/5) / (3/5)) - (1/2)

Solve left to right:

• ((((2 1/4) * 4/5) / (3/5)) - (1/2)
• = ((((2 1/4) * 4/5) / (3/5))
• = 3 - 1/2
• = 2 1/2.

If we solve this separately, starting with 2 1/4 * 4/5 without dividing 3/5, we would be doing it wrong.

If we do it like this, we would get the correct answer.

2 1/2 is the answer.
