Solve 11/12-1/2quad10-5

$$\frac { 11 } { 12 } - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \quad 10 - 5$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{109}{12}\approx -9.083333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply \frac{1}{2} and 10 to get \frac{10}{2}.

$$\frac{11}{12}-\frac{10}{2}-5$$

Divide 10 by 2 to get 5.

$$\frac{11}{12}-5-5$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{60}{12}.

$$\frac{11}{12}-\frac{60}{12}-5$$

Since \frac{11}{12} and \frac{60}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{11-60}{12}-5$$

Subtract 60 from 11 to get -49.

$$-\frac{49}{12}-5$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{60}{12}.

$$-\frac{49}{12}-\frac{60}{12}$$

Since -\frac{49}{12} and \frac{60}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-49-60}{12}$$

Subtract 60 from -49 to get -109.

$$-\frac{109}{12}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{109}{12} = -9\frac{1}{12} = -9.083333333333334$$
