Evaluate

$$0$$

Solution Steps

Convert decimal number 0.25 to fraction \frac{25}{100}. Reduce the fraction \frac{25}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

$$\frac{3}{8}\times \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Multiply \frac{3}{8} times \frac{1}{4} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{3\times 1}{8\times 4}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{3\times 1}{8\times 4}.

$$\frac{3}{32}+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Multiply \frac{1}{4} times \frac{5}{8} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{3}{32}+\frac{1\times 5}{4\times 8}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 5}{4\times 8}.

$$\frac{3}{32}+\frac{5}{32}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Since \frac{3}{32} and \frac{5}{32} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{3+5}{32}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Add 3 and 5 to get 8.

$$\frac{8}{32}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{32} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 8.

$$\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Subtract \frac{1}{4} from \frac{1}{4} to get 0.

$$0$$

Factor
