The way you wrote it, using no parentheses at all, the PEMDAS rule
says that you mean this:
÷
where we do the division
÷
first, then change it
to multiplication by the reciprocal of the second as
×
where when we cancel we get
So we replace the
÷
by
and now we have:
and the LCD is 80, so we have
We add the numerators and put it over the LCD as
or
------------------------------------------------------
But you may have forgotten about parentheses and ignored the PEMDAS rule
and meant this instead:
÷
If so we get LCD of 16 on the left and right
÷
÷
We know that when we divide a number by itself we get 1
or we can invert the second and multiply:
×
and after canceling, we get 1.
So if you ignored PEMDAS and parentheses, the answer is 1.
