Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn 5 and 1/2 into a full fraction by multiplying the denominator (2) and whole number (5). And add that to the number you already have in the numerator (1).

2x5=10

10+1=11

11/2

When dividing fractions, follow the "keep, change, flip" rule:

Keep the dividend (11/2) the same, change the division sign to a multiplication sign, and flip the divisor (1/2). The equation is now

11/2 x 2/1

Cross-simplify the 2's:

11/1 x 1/1

= 11

Pie

Consider number 17. You know that

17=9+8.

Then for negative numbers you have the same rule (with respect to sign -):

-17=(-9)+(-8).

Since (-9)+9=9+(-9)=9-9=0, you have that

-17+9=(-9)+(-8)+9=(-9+9)+(-8)=0+(-8)=-8.

Answer: -17=(-9)+(-8).
