12 (1)/(3) / 2 ​

Question

`12 (1)/(3) / 2`
​

Answer 1

37/6

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

(12 + 1/3)/2

Put 12 + 1/3 over the common denominator 3. 12 + 1/3 = (3×12)/3 + 1/3:

((3×12)/3 + 1/3)/2

3×12 = 36:

(36/3 + 1/3)/2

36/3 + 1/3 = (36 + 1)/3:

((36 + 1)/3)/2

36 + 1 = 37:

(37/3)/2

37/3×1/2 = 37/(3×2):

37/(3×2)

3×2 = 6:

Answer: 37/6
