Solve (-1/3-1/2)div5/5=

$$(- \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } - \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } ) \div \frac{ 5 }{ 5 } =$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{5}{6}\approx -0.833333333$$

Solution Steps

Divide 5 by 5 to get 1.

$$\frac{-\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{2}}{1}$$

Least common multiple of 3 and 2 is 6. Convert -\frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$\frac{-\frac{2}{6}-\frac{3}{6}}{1}$$

Since -\frac{2}{6} and \frac{3}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{\frac{-2-3}{6}}{1}$$

Subtract 3 from -2 to get -5.

$$\frac{-\frac{5}{6}}{1}$$

Anything divided by one gives itself.

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

Factor

$$-\frac{5}{6} = -0.8333333333333334$$
