1) the sum of eight and the quotient of ten and five
         10
8 + ----  =  8 + 2 = 10
          5

2) the sum of one-half and the reciprocal of two-thirds
                     1                                                       2           3
one half = ---                      and reciprocal of --- = -----
                     2                                                       3            2

  1        3        1 + 3         4
--- + --- = ------ = ---- = 2
  2         2            2           2
