Question

Plz give an explination to solve this equasion:

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Simplify the expression.

$2.64+(-\frac{2}{9})+(-0.35)+(\frac{5}{8})$

2. Group like terms.

(2.64+ -0.35)+(-2/9+5/8)

3. Simplify the arithmetic.

2.29+(-2/9 + 5/8)

4. Find the lowest common denominator.

$2.29+ \frac{(-2 times 8)}{(9 times 8)} +\frac{(5 times 9)}{(8 times 9)}$

5. Multiply the denominators.

$2.29+ \frac{(-2 times 8)}{72} +\frac{(5 times 9)}{72}$

6. Multiply the numerators.

2.29+ -16/72 + 45/72

7. Combine the fractions.

$2.29+\frac{-16+45}{72}$

8. Combine the numerators.

2.29 + 29/72

9. Divide fraction for addition.

2.29+0.4028

10. Simplify the arithmetic.

2.6928

So for short just simplify the expression. :)
