Solve 8/3+4-2

$$\frac{ 8 }{ 3 } +4-2$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{14}{3}\approx 4.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{12}{3}.

$$\frac{8}{3}+\frac{12}{3}-2$$

Since \frac{8}{3} and \frac{12}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{8+12}{3}-2$$

Add 8 and 12 to get 20.

$$\frac{20}{3}-2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{6}{3}.

$$\frac{20}{3}-\frac{6}{3}$$

Since \frac{20}{3} and \frac{6}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{20-6}{3}$$

Subtract 6 from 20 to get 14.

$$\frac{14}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 7}{3} = 4\frac{2}{3} = 4.666666666666667$$
