Answer:
[tex] \frac{51}{6} [/tex]
or
[tex]8 \times \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
(depending on what you need)
or you can write it just like 8.5
Step-by-step explanation:
So I think it says,
[tex]8 \times \frac{5}{12} = [/tex]
and then,
[tex] +31 \times \frac{1}{6} = [/tex]
So- I'm guessing the question overall would look like the following:
[tex](8 \times \frac{5}{12}) + 31 \times \frac{1}{6} = [/tex]
The parenthesis is simple enough. 5×8 = 40
[tex] \frac{40}{12} + 31 \times \frac{1}{6} = [/tex]
And the second half is even simpler since 31×1 = 31:
[tex] \frac{40}{12} + \frac{31}{6} = [/tex]
Okay and now we can shorten the left fraction, which means that we cut it in half.
[tex] \frac{20}{6} + \frac{31}{6} = [/tex]
Almost done, now we just add them together.
[tex] = \frac{51}{6} [/tex]
There we have it. And if needed you can also write it like:
[tex]8 \times \frac{3}{6} [/tex]
(which would be:)
[tex]8 \times \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
