Question

I need step by step instructions on how to simplify 6 1/2

Answer 1

\[\Large 6\cdot \frac12 =\frac62=3\]

Answer 2

\[6 \frac{1}{2}= 6+ \frac{1}{2} \]Taking LCM of 1 and 2\[\frac{6}{1}+ \frac{1}{2}= \frac{6 \times 2}{ 1 \times 2}+ \frac{1}{2}\]\[\frac{12}{2}+ \frac{1}{2}\]\[\frac{12+1}{2}= \frac{13}{2}\]

Answer 3

aufff.. sorry... I thought it was multiply :S

Answer 4

@NinaCarter is it ...\[\Large 6\frac12 \quad ,\quad 6\cdot \frac12 \quad ,\quad 6+\frac12\] ?

Answer 5

Thank you now how do I simplify the square root of 100?

Answer 6

@Kreshnik it is the first one (six and a half)

Answer 7

\[\sqrt{100}=\sqrt{10 \times 10}=\sqrt{10^2}=10\]
Remember
\[\sqrt{x^2}=x\]

Answer 8

if it is the first one then you'll go like thiss...

\[\Large 6\frac12 =\frac{2\cdot 6+1}{2}=\frac{8+1}{2}=\frac92\]

Answer 9

wrong
... I made a mistake 2*6=12 then... 12+1=13 finally 13/2 LOL
