Solve 8/5-4/3+2/6=

$$\frac { 8 } { 5 } - \frac { 4 } { 3 } + \frac { 2 } { 6 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{5}=0.6$$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15. Convert \frac{8}{5} and \frac{4}{3} to fractions with denominator 15.

$$\frac{24}{15}-\frac{20}{15}+\frac{2}{6}$$

Since \frac{24}{15} and \frac{20}{15} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{24-20}{15}+\frac{2}{6}$$

Subtract 20 from 24 to get 4.

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

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{4}{15}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Least common multiple of 15 and 3 is 15. Convert \frac{4}{15} and \frac{1}{3} to fractions with denominator 15.

$$\frac{4}{15}+\frac{5}{15}$$

Since \frac{4}{15} and \frac{5}{15} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{4+5}{15}$$

Add 4 and 5 to get 9.

$$\frac{9}{15}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{9}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{3}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$$
