QuestionCalculate 12+(3818)2\frac{1}{2}+\left(\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{8}\right)^{2}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We have the mathematical expression 1+(3818)\frac{1}{}+\left(\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{8}\right)^{}. . We need to follow the order of operations, also known as BIDMAS or PEMAS Brackets/parentheses, Indices/Exponents, Division and Multiplication (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).

STEP 2

First, we need to solve the operation inside the parentheses.
818\frac{}{8}-\frac{1}{8}

STEP 3

Subtract the fractions.
3818=28\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{8} = \frac{2}{8}

STEP 4

implify the fraction.
28=14\frac{2}{8} = \frac{1}{4}

STEP 5

Now, we need to square the result from the operation inside the parentheses.
(14)2\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2}

STEP 6

Square the fraction.
(14)2=116\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{2} = \frac{1}{16}

STEP 7

Now, we need to add the result from the squared operation to 12\frac{1}{2}.
12+116\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{16}

STEP 8

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of2 and16 is16.
816+116\frac{8}{16} + \frac{1}{16}

STEP 9

Add the fractions.
816+16=916\frac{8}{16} + \frac{}{16} = \frac{9}{16}The solution to the given mathematical expression is 916\frac{9}{16}.
