Question

X=3/5 y= 1/3 z= 2 4/5 work out the value for z+x times y

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

The value of x = 3/5

y = 1/3

z = 2 4/5

The value of z is in whole number fraction so, let us convert it to improper fraction.

z = 2 4/5 = 14/5

Now let us work out the value of z + x times y. This can be translated mathematically as follows

z + x × y

let us insert the values

14/5 + 3/5 × 1/3

using the PEMDAS principle, multiplication comes before addition therefore, we will do the multiplication before addition.

3/5 × 1/3 = 1/5

14/5 + 1/5 = (14 + 1)/5 = 15/5 = 3
