Leticia simplified an expression. Her work is shown below. 4.5 divided by one-fourth + 2 and one-half minus 0.75 times 8

Step 1 18 + 2 and one-half minus 0.75 times 8

Step 2 18 + 1.75 times 8

Step 3 18 + 14

Step 4 32

Where did Leticia make her first mistake?

both equations and proportions are better.

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
