Add: \( 51 / 3+31 / 2= \) A 8216 B8516 Cg1/4 D 8225

Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(\frac{51}{3}+\frac{31}{2}\) - step1: Divide the terms: \(17+\frac{31}{2}\) - step2: Reduce fractions to a common denominator: \(\frac{17\times 2}{2}+\frac{31}{2}\) - step3: Transform the expression: \(\frac{17\times 2+31}{2}\) - step4: Multiply the numbers: \(\frac{34+31}{2}\) - step5: Add the numbers: \(\frac{65}{2}\) Let's solve the expression step by step: 1. **Calculate \( \frac{51}{3} \)**: \[ \frac{51}{3} = 17 \] 2. **Calculate \( \frac{31}{2} \)**: \[ \frac{31}{2} = 15.5 \] 3. **Add the two results together**: \[ 17 + 15.5 = 32.5 \] The final result is \( 32.5 \). Now, let's compare this with the provided options: - A: 8216 - B: 8516 - C: \( g\frac{1}{4} \) - D: 8225 None of the options match \( 32.5 \). It seems there might be an error in the options provided.
