Solve 5/6-(1/2*11/2)

$$\frac { 5 } { 6 } - ( \frac { 1 } { 2 } \times 1 \frac { 1 } { 2 } )$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{12}\approx 0.083333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

$$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2+1}{2}$$

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

$$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{2}$$

Multiply \frac{1}{2} times \frac{3}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1\times 3}{2\times 2}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 3}{2\times 2}.

$$\frac{5}{6}-\frac{3}{4}$$

Least common multiple of 6 and 4 is 12. Convert \frac{5}{6} and \frac{3}{4} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$\frac{10}{12}-\frac{9}{12}$$

Since \frac{10}{12} and \frac{9}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{10-9}{12}$$

Subtract 9 from 10 to get 1.

$$\frac{1}{12}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 0.08333333333333333$$
