Solve (1-5^2/6)

$$( 1 - \frac { 5 ^ { 2 } } { 6 } )$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{19}{6}\approx -3.166666667$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 5 to the power of 2 and get 25.

$$1-\frac{25}{6}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{6}{6}.

$$\frac{6}{6}-\frac{25}{6}$$

Since \frac{6}{6} and \frac{25}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{6-25}{6}$$

Subtract 25 from 6 to get -19.

$$-\frac{19}{6}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{19}{6} = -3\frac{1}{6} = -3.1666666666666665$$
