Question

What is 5 ÷ 70 + 15 ?

Answer 1

Division is a "stronger" operation than addition, so we perform the operation 5 ÷ 70 first, getting 5/70 = 1/14 as a result.

We could either write 1/14 + 15 as the mixed number 15 1/14, or we could convert it to a mixed number to an improper fraction. Since there are 14/14 in one whole, 15 wholes is the same as (15 x 14)/14 = 210/14. Adding in the 1/14, we find that

15 1/14 = 211/14

Answer 2

Follow PEMDAS.

First divide 5 with 70

5/70 = 0.071 (rounded)

Next, add the number gotten with 15

15 + 0.071 = 15.071

15.071 is your answer

hope this helps
