Evaluate

$$\frac{77}{36}\approx 2.138888889$$

Solution Steps

Convert 28 to fraction \frac{112}{4}.

$$\frac{1}{9}\left(\frac{112}{4}-\frac{35}{4}\right)$$

Since \frac{112}{4} and \frac{35}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{1}{9}\times \frac{112-35}{4}$$

Subtract 35 from 112 to get 77.

$$\frac{1}{9}\times \frac{77}{4}$$
