Solve 8/4-5/6

$$\frac{ 8 }{ 4 } - \frac{ 5 }{ 6 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{7}{6}\approx 1.166666667$$

Solution Steps

Divide 8 by 4 to get 2.

$$2-\frac{5}{6}$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{12}{6}.

$$\frac{12}{6}-\frac{5}{6}$$

Since \frac{12}{6} and \frac{5}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{12-5}{6}$$

Subtract 5 from 12 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{7}{2 \cdot 3} = 1\frac{1}{6} = 1.1666666666666667$$
