Josiah is asked to simplify the expression 2/3 + 1/2(8 + 3 1/4) Josiah incorrectly claims that the expression simplifies to 13 1/8. Part A. What is the correct value of the expression?? Part B: what error did Josiah likely make??

question is incomplete.

b. hoped i'm right lol

step-by-step explanation:

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

a

(6r + 7) + (13 + 7r) ( remove brackets and collect like terms )

= 6r + 7 + 13 + 7r

= 13r + 20

b

remove brackets and collect like terms

13 - r - 1 + r

= 12 - r

c

remove brackets and collect like terms

= - 8 - r + 2r - 4

= - 12 + r

d

remove brackets and collect like terms

= 7r - - - 6r

[-   - = - - = - ]

= r -

you could deduce the conclusion directly using the facts pertaining to the specific situation.

hope this .
