Solve 32/3+32/5-16=

$$\frac { 32 } { 3 } + \frac { 32 } { 5 } - 16 =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{16}{15}\approx 1.066666667$$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15. Convert \frac{32}{3} and \frac{32}{5} to fractions with denominator 15.

$$\frac{160}{15}+\frac{96}{15}-16$$

Since \frac{160}{15} and \frac{96}{15} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{160+96}{15}-16$$

Add 160 and 96 to get 256.

$$\frac{256}{15}-16$$

Convert 16 to fraction \frac{240}{15}.

$$\frac{256}{15}-\frac{240}{15}$$

Since \frac{256}{15} and \frac{240}{15} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{256-240}{15}$$

Subtract 240 from 256 to get 16.

$$\frac{16}{15}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {4}}{3 \cdot 5} = 1\frac{1}{15} = 1.0666666666666667$$
