910\frac{9}{10}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Perform the division operation first, according to the order of operations (BODMAS/PEMDAS).

    To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal.

    16÷13=16×31\frac{1}{6} \div \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{3}{1}
  2. Multiply the fractions.

    1×36×1=36\frac{1 \times 3}{6 \times 1} = \frac{3}{6}

    Simplify the fraction:

    36=12\frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{2}
  3. Now, substitute this result back into the original expression.

    25+12\frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{2}
  4. Add the fractions.

    To do this, find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10.
    Convert 25\frac{2}{5} to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 10:

    25=2×25×2=410\frac{2}{5} = \frac{2 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{4}{10}

    Convert 12\frac{1}{2} to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 10:

    12=1×52×5=510\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5} = \frac{5}{10}
  5. Add the fractions with the common denominator.

    410+510=4+510=910\frac{4}{10} + \frac{5}{10} = \frac{4+5}{10} = \frac{9}{10}

    The simplified expression is 910\frac{9}{10}.
