Answer:

5 1/2

Explanation:

You can use the distributive property to eliminate parentheses, then add the terms that result.

5(3/5 +1/2) = 5(3/5) +5(1/2) = 3 + 5/2 = 3 + 2 1/2 = 5 1/2

__

Or, you can add the numbers, then multiply by 5. This is the way the evaluation should be done according to the Order of Operations.

5(3/5 +1/2) = 5(6/10 + 5/10) = 5(11/10) = 11/2 = 5 1/2
