Solve 2left(15*4+3right)/3-15.4-3/4

$$\frac{ 2 \left( 15 \cdot 4+3 \right) }{ 3 } - \frac{ 15.4-3 }{ 4 }$$

Evaluate

$$38.9$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 15 and 4 to get 60.

$$\frac{2\left(60+3\right)}{3}-\frac{15.4-3}{4}$$

Add 60 and 3 to get 63.

$$\frac{2\times 63}{3}-\frac{15.4-3}{4}$$

Multiply 2 and 63 to get 126.

$$\frac{126}{3}-\frac{15.4-3}{4}$$

Divide 126 by 3 to get 42.

$$42-\frac{15.4-3}{4}$$

Subtract 3 from 15.4 to get 12.4.

$$42-\frac{12.4}{4}$$

Expand \frac{12.4}{4} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$42-\frac{124}{40}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{124}{40} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$42-\frac{31}{10}$$

Convert 42 to fraction \frac{420}{10}.

$$\frac{420}{10}-\frac{31}{10}$$

Since \frac{420}{10} and \frac{31}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{420-31}{10}$$

Subtract 31 from 420 to get 389.

$$\frac{389}{10}$$

Factor

$$\frac{389}{2 \cdot 5} = 38\frac{9}{10} = 38.9$$
