Solve 3+4/7-1/8+2

$$\frac { 3 + 4 } { 7 } - \frac { 1 } { 8 } + 2$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{23}{8}=2.875$$

Solution Steps

Add 3 and 4 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{7}-\frac{1}{8}+2$$

Divide 7 by 7 to get 1.

$$1-\frac{1}{8}+2$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{8}{8}.

$$\frac{8}{8}-\frac{1}{8}+2$$

Since \frac{8}{8} and \frac{1}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{8-1}{8}+2$$

Subtract 1 from 8 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{8}+2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{16}{8}.

$$\frac{7}{8}+\frac{16}{8}$$

Since \frac{7}{8} and \frac{16}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{7+16}{8}$$

Add 7 and 16 to get 23.

$$\frac{23}{8}$$

Factor

$$\frac{23}{2 ^ {3}} = 2\frac{7}{8} = 2.875$$
