That question is impossible to answer unless the correct parenthesis are written out as desired.
It could be (5/2) + (7/24) + (31/26). In which case, the answer would be 1243/312, or 3.984
It could also be ((5/2 + 7) / (24 + 31)) / 26. Which equals 19/2860, or 0.006
Or any other orientation.
As you can see, parenthesis are integral in solving equations and properly doing mathematics!
31 over 24 or 1 and 7 over 24~ 31/24. OR. 1 7/24
7/24 + 5/36 = 31/72
11/12 + 3/8 = 22/24 + 9/24 = 31/24 = 17/24
5/8+1/3 The common denominator is 24: 15/24 + 8/24 = 23/24=0.9583333 (repeating)
The average is 27
31 over 24 or 1 and 7 over 24~ 31/24. OR. 1 7/24
31 over 24 or 1.2916
7/24 + 5/36 = 31/72
11/12 + 3/8 = 22/24 + 9/24 = 31/24 = 17/24
5/8+1/3 The common denominator is 24: 15/24 + 8/24 = 23/24=0.9583333 (repeating)
-26
31 + 26 + 24 = 81 / 3 = 27 To find the above average, add the the three numbers together, then divide by 3
61+24=85
The average is 27
5/8 + 2/3 - the problem is that you have to reduce the fractions into a common denominator. The common denom. of 8 and 3 can be 24. 15/24 + 16/24 = 31/24
Hopefully no important grouping symbols were left out when you asked the question. Here's what you asked: 1/2+2/3+1/8= (1/2)+(2/3)+(1/8)= 12/24+16/24+3/24= 31/24 17/24
2x + 5 = 31 2x = 31 - 5 = 26 x = 13
