Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Given:

512+5516+555112+5555120+55555130 5\frac{1}{2} + 55\frac{1}{6} + 555\frac{1}{12} + 5555\frac{1}{20} + 55555\frac{1}{30}

= (5 + 1/2) + (55 + 1/6) + (555 + 1/12) + (5555 + 1/20) + (55555 + 1/30)

Sum of the integers

= 5 + 55 + 555 + 5555 + 55555 = 61725

Sum of the fractions = 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/12 + 1/20 + 1/30

= 30/60 + 10/60 + 5/60 + 3/60 + 2/60

= 50/60

= 5/6

Total sum = 61725 + 5/6 = 61725 5/6
