Math Problem Statement

Add the product of 4/5 and12/2 to the quotient of 45/5÷ 4/5

Solution

Let's break down the problem step by step.

Step 1: Calculate the product of 45\frac{4}{5} and 122\frac{12}{2}

45×122=4×125×2=4810=245\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{12}{2} = \frac{4 \times 12}{5 \times 2} = \frac{48}{10} = \frac{24}{5}

Step 2: Calculate the quotient of 455÷45\frac{45}{5} \div \frac{4}{5}

Dividing fractions involves multiplying by the reciprocal of the divisor: 455÷45=455×54=45×55×4=22520=454\frac{45}{5} \div \frac{4}{5} = \frac{45}{5} \times \frac{5}{4} = \frac{45 \times 5}{5 \times 4} = \frac{225}{20} = \frac{45}{4}

Step 3: Add the results from Step 1 and Step 2

Now, add 245\frac{24}{5} to 454\frac{45}{4}. To add these fractions, we need a common denominator.

The least common denominator (LCD) of 5 and 4 is 20. Convert the fractions: 245=24×45×4=9620\frac{24}{5} = \frac{24 \times 4}{5 \times 4} = \frac{96}{20} 454=45×54×5=22520\frac{45}{4} = \frac{45 \times 5}{4 \times 5} = \frac{225}{20}

Now add the two fractions: 9620+22520=96+22520=32120\frac{96}{20} + \frac{225}{20} = \frac{96 + 225}{20} = \frac{321}{20}

Final Answer

The result is 32120\frac{321}{20}, which can also be written as 1612016\frac{1}{20} or 16.0516.05 in decimal form.
