Correct option is B
Given:
2 ½ + 3½ + 4½ = x
Solution:
Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions or Decimals
2 ½ = 2 + 0.5 = 2.5
3 ½ = 3 + 0.5 = 3.5
4 ½ = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5
Calculate the Value of x
Add these values together:
x = 2.5 + 3.5 + 4.5 = 10.5
Calculate x - 5 ½
Convert 5 ½ to a decimal:
5 ½ = 5 + 0.5 = 5.5
Now, subtract: x - 5.5 = 10.5 - 5.5 = 5
Answer
The value of x - 5 ½ is
= 5
