## anonymous 4 years ago 5+1/2 multiply 5+1/2

1. anonymous

do you mean $\huge 5 + \frac 12 \times 5 + \frac 12$

2. anonymous

yes

3. anonymous

hint: according to PEMDAS multiply 1/2 x 5 first

4. anonymous

No. 5/1/2

5. anonymous

what is the original question?

7. anonymous

you sure? the question wasn't originally $\huge 5 + \frac 12 \times 5 + \frac 12?$ because those are two different things...

8. anonymous

nope

9. anonymous

It is how I drew it.

10. anonymous

well then change both to improper fractions first $\huge \implies \frac{11}2 \times \frac{11}2$ do you now what to do now?

11. anonymous

121/4?

12. anonymous

yes

13. anonymous

now change it to mixed fraction to see something cool

14. anonymous

UH O.O I got.. 32.5

15. anonymous

cause I am unsure of my answer.

16. anonymous

hmm you divided wrong...

17. anonymous

anyway 121/4 is right

18. anonymous

oh I thought I needed to simply it.

19. anonymous

How do I round it to the nearest integer?

20. anonymous

you mean turn it into a mixed fraction?

21. anonymous

Find the estimated answer by rounding each mixed number to the nearest integer and then multiplying the integers

22. anonymous

i have no idea sorry

23. anonymous

It's okay.
