Solve 7/12-1/5*60

$$\frac { 7 } { 12 } - \frac { 1 } { 5 } * 60$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{137}{12}\approx -11.416666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply \frac{1}{5} and 60 to get \frac{60}{5}.

$$\frac{7}{12}-\frac{60}{5}$$

Divide 60 by 5 to get 12.

$$\frac{7}{12}-12$$

Convert 12 to fraction \frac{144}{12}.

$$\frac{7}{12}-\frac{144}{12}$$

Since \frac{7}{12} and \frac{144}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{7-144}{12}$$

Subtract 144 from 7 to get -137.

$$-\frac{137}{12}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{137}{12} = -11\frac{5}{12} = -11.416666666666666$$
