Solve 25 + 45/9: Mixed Operations with Whole Numbers and Fractions

Because of the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS)! Division comes before addition, so you must calculate $\frac{45}{9}$ first, then add the result to 25.

Always check if the numerator divides evenly by the denominator first. Since $45 ÷ 9 = 5$ exactly, this fraction simplifies to a whole number!

Then you would add the decimal form of the fraction to the whole number. For example, $25 + \frac{46}{9} = 25 + 5.11... = 30.11...$

Yes! You could write $\frac{225}{9} + \frac{45}{9} = \frac{270}{9} = 30$. Both methods work, but converting the fraction to a whole number is usually easier.

Substitute back: Does $25 + \frac{45}{9} = 30$? Yes, because $25 + 5 = 30$ ✓
