Solve 2/8-12:3+4*5=

$$\frac { 2 } { 8 } - 12 : 3 + 4 \cdot 5 =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{65}{4}=16.25$$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{4}-\frac{12}{3}+4\times 5$$

Divide 12 by 3 to get 4.

$$\frac{1}{4}-4+4\times 5$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{16}{4}.

$$\frac{1}{4}-\frac{16}{4}+4\times 5$$

Since \frac{1}{4} and \frac{16}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{1-16}{4}+4\times 5$$

Subtract 16 from 1 to get -15.

$$-\frac{15}{4}+4\times 5$$

Multiply 4 and 5 to get 20.

$$-\frac{15}{4}+20$$

Convert 20 to fraction \frac{80}{4}.

$$-\frac{15}{4}+\frac{80}{4}$$

Since -\frac{15}{4} and \frac{80}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-15+80}{4}$$

Add -15 and 80 to get 65.

$$\frac{65}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 \cdot 13}{2 ^ {2}} = 16\frac{1}{4} = 16.25$$
