Examples with solutions for Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division: Using fractions

Exercise #1

113:4= 11-3:4=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to rules of the order of operations, we must first place the division operation within parentheses:

11(3:4)= 11-(3:4)=

We then proceed to solve the operation inside of the parentheses:

3:4=34 3:4=\frac{3}{4}

We should obtain the following expression:

1134=1014 11-\frac{3}{4}=10\frac{1}{4}

Answer

1014 10\frac{1}{4}

Exercise #2

1+2×37:4= 1+2\times3-7:4=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, we must first enclose both the multiplication and division exercises inside of parentheses:

1+(2×3)(7:4)= 1+(2\times3)-(7:4)=

We then solve the exercises within the parentheses:

2×3=6 2\times3=6

7:4=74 7:4=\frac{7}{4}

We obtain the following:

1+674= 1+6-\frac{7}{4}=

We continue by solving the exercise from left to right:

1+6=7 1+6=7

774= 7-\frac{7}{4}=

Lastly we break down the numerator of the fraction with a sum exercise as seen below:

7(4+34) 7-(\frac{4+3}{4})

7(44+34) 7-(\frac{4}{4}+\frac{3}{4})

7(1+34) 7-(1+\frac{3}{4})

7134=514 7-1\frac{3}{4}=5\frac{1}{4}

Exercise #7

0.50.1:0.2= 0.5-0.1:0.2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the order of operations in arithmetic, multiplication and division take precedence over addition and subtraction.

We'll start with the division operation and write the fractions as decimal fractions, then as simple fractions:

0.1:0.2=0.10.2=12 0.1:0.2=\frac{0.1}{0.2}=\frac{1}{2}

In the next step, we'll write the decimal fraction 0.5 as a simple fraction:

0.5=12 0.5=\frac{1}{2}

Now let's solve the problem

Exercise #12

12:(4×293)= 12:(4\times2-\frac{9}{3})=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Given that, according to the rules of the order of operations, parentheses come first, we will first solve the exercise that appears within the parentheses.

4×293= 4\times2-\frac{9}{3}=

We solve the multiplication exercise:

4×2=8 4\times2=8

We divide the fraction (numerator by denominator)93=3 \frac{9}{3}=3

And now the exercise obtained within the parentheses is83=5 8-3=5

Finally, we divide:12:5=125 12:5=\frac{12}{5}

Exercise #13

14×13+4×34= \frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{3}+4\times\frac{3}{4}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, we must first place the two multiplication exercises inside of the parentheses:

(14×13)+(4×34)= (\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{3})+(4\times\frac{3}{4})=

We then focus on the left parenthesis and combine the multiplication exercise:

(14×13)=1×14×3=112 (\frac{1}{4}\times\frac{1}{3})=\frac{1\times1}{4\times3}=\frac{1}{12}

Next we focus on the right parenthesis and we again combine the multiplication exercise:

(4×34)=4×34=124=3 (4\times\frac{3}{4})=\frac{4\times3}{4}=\frac{12}{4}=3

Finally we obtain the following exercise:

112+3=3112 \frac{1}{12}+3=3\frac{1}{12}

Answer

3112 3\frac{1}{12}

Exercise #14

3+33×232= 3+\frac{3}{3}\times\frac{2}{3}-2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the rules of the order of arithmetic operations, we first place the multiplication exercise inside of parentheses:

3+(33×23)2= 3+(\frac{3}{3}\times\frac{2}{3})-2=

We then solve the exercise in the parentheses, combining the multiplication into a single exercise:

(33×23)=3×23×3=69=23 (\frac{3}{3}\times\frac{2}{3})=\frac{3\times2}{3\times3}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}

We obtain the following exercise:

3+232= 3+\frac{2}{3}-2=

Lastly we solve the exercise from left to right:

3+23=323 3+\frac{2}{3}=3\frac{2}{3}

3232=123 3\frac{2}{3}-2=1\frac{2}{3}

Answer

123 1\frac{2}{3}

Exercise #15

0.18+0.3789+1321= \frac{0.18+0.37}{89+13-\frac{2}{1}}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's first calculate the numerator of the fraction:

0.18+0.37=0.55 0.18+0.37=0.55

Now let's calculate the denominator of the fraction, we'll start with the division exercise:

21=2 \frac{2}{1}=2

Now we get the exercise:

89+132= 89+13-2=

Let's solve from left to right:

89+13=102 89+13=102

1022=100 102-2=100

Now we have the exercise:

0.55100=0.55:100 \frac{0.55}{100}=0.55:100

We'll move the decimal point two places to the left (according to the two zeros of 100)

And we'll get the number:

0.0055 0.0055

Answer

0.0055

Exercise #16

21:49+28(2+2×3)= \frac{21:\sqrt{49}+2}{8-(2+2\times3)}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

In the numerator we solve the square root exercise:

49=7 \sqrt{49}=7

In the denominator we solve the exercise within parentheses:

(2+2×3)= (2+2\times3)=

2+6=8 2+6=8

The exercise we now have is:

21:7+288= \frac{21:7+2}{8-8}=

We solve the exercise in the numerator of fractions from left to right:

21:7=3 21:7=3

3+2=5 3+2=5

We obtain the exercise:

588=50 \frac{5}{8-8}=\frac{5}{0}

Since it is impossible for the denominator of the fraction to be 0, it is impossible to solve the exercise.

Answer

Cannot be solved

Exercise #17

1215:3210:(2+3)= \frac{12-15:3\cdot2}{10:(2+3)}=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We start by solving the exercise in the numerator and then solve the exercise in the denominator.

We know that multiplication and division operations come before addition and subtraction operations, so first we will divide 15:3 and then multiply the result by 2:

15:3=5 15:3=5

125×2=1210=2 12-5\times2=12-10=2

The result of the numerator is 2 and now we will solve the exercise that appears in the denominator.

It is known that according to the rules of the order of operations, the exercise that appears between parentheses goes first, so we first solve the exercise2+3=5 2+3=5

Now, we solve the division exercise:10:5=2 10:5=2

The result we get in the denominator is 2.

Finally, divide the numerator by the denominator:

22=1 \frac{2}{2}=1
