$$\frac { 5 } { 2 } \frac { 3 } { 2 } - \frac { 6 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{4}=0.75$$

Solution Steps

Multiply \frac{5}{2} times \frac{3}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{5\times 3}{2\times 2}-\frac{6}{2}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{5\times 3}{2\times 2}.

$$\frac{15}{4}-\frac{6}{2}$$

Divide 6 by 2 to get 3.

$$\frac{15}{4}-3$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{12}{4}.

$$\frac{15}{4}-\frac{12}{4}$$

Since \frac{15}{4} and \frac{12}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{15-12}{4}$$

Subtract 12 from 15 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{2 ^ {2}} = 0.75$$
