Question

What is the final value of the expression $(5+\frac{1}{4})+(5-\frac{1}{4})?$

• A. 10

Answer 1

The correct option is A 10
Given expression is $(5+\frac{1}{4})+(5-\frac{1}{4})$

We here have to apply the concept of BODMAS.

In the first bracket, we will add and in second bracket, we will subtract. Then we will add the final two values.

So, on opeining the brackets and adding the values, we get:

$=(\frac{5\times 4+1}{4}$) + $\left(\frac{5\times 4-1}{4}\right)$

$=\frac{21}{4}+\frac{19}{4}$

$=\frac{21+19}{4}$

$=\frac{40}{4}$

$=10$

Hence, the final value of the expression is 10.
