Answer:

decimal form: 18.9 Fraction Form: 18 9/10

Explanation:

(4/5+3/5)+3.5 x 5=18.9

Add Parenthesis= 4/5 + 3/5 = 7/5

Put the numbers back together= 7/5 + 3.5 x 5

Turn the fraction into a decimal form: 7/5=1.4

Put the number back together= 1.4+3.5 x 5

Now you have to do PEMDAS: meaning you have to multiply first

3.5 x 5 = 17.5

Put the problems back together= 17.5+1.4=18.9

*The 9 has a number 10 on the bottom because it is the denominator.

Examples*1/10 10/100
