$3\frac{1}{4}+4.8\div1.2+2.5 \times \frac{3}{5}$

• A. 35/4
• B. 31/4
• C. 33/4
• D. 37/4

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 35/4

To simplify the expression, follow the order of operations (perform division and multiplication first, then addition):

$3\frac{1}{4} + 4.8 \div 1.2 + 2.5 \times \frac{3}{5}$

Step-by-Step Evaluation:

1. Convert the mixed number and evaluate the operations:

   
   

   • $3\frac{1}{4} = 3.25$

   • $4.8 \div 1.2 = 4$

   • $2.5 \times \frac{3}{5} = 2.5 \times 0.6 = 1.5$

2. Add the results together:

   
   $3.25 + 4 + 1.5 = 8.75=\frac{35}{4}$

Answer:  $\frac{35}{4}$
