Solve: (0.18 + 0.37)/(89 + 13 - 2) Complex Fraction Problem

Question

$\frac{0.18+0.37}{89+13-\frac{2}{1}}=\text{ ?}$

00:00 Solve the following problem

00:05 Rewrite the fraction as a division expression

00:14 Use long addition in order to calculate

00:20 This is the calculation for the numerator

00:23 Use long addition again and calculate the denominator

00:27 This is the calculation for the first operation denominator

00:35 This is the calculation for the denominator

00:40 Let's continue to solve the problem

00:43 Dividing by 100 means moving the decimal point twice to the left

00:46 Here is the solution

First let's work out the numerator of the fraction:

$0.18+0.37=0.55$

Now we can work out the denominator of the fraction, starting with the division exercise below:

$\frac{2}{1}=2$

This gives us the following:

$89+13-2=$

Then we can solve from left to right:

$89+13=102$

$102-2=100$

This gives us the following:

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

We will then move the decimal point two places to the left—due to the two zeros of 100—to get the answer:

$0.0055$

0.0055
