Solve -3/4+(-25%)+11/8

$$- \frac { 3 } { 4 } + ( - 25 \% ) + 1 \frac { 1 } { 8 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{8}=0.125$$

Solution Steps

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

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

Since -\frac{3}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 1 from -3 to get -4.

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

Divide -4 by 4 to get -1.

$$-1+\frac{1\times 8+1}{8}$$

Multiply 1 and 8 to get 8.

$$-1+\frac{8+1}{8}$$

Add 8 and 1 to get 9.

$$-1+\frac{9}{8}$$

Convert -1 to fraction -\frac{8}{8}.

$$-\frac{8}{8}+\frac{9}{8}$$

Since -\frac{8}{8} and \frac{9}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-8+9}{8}$$

Add -8 and 9 to get 1.

$$\frac{1}{8}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2 ^ {3}} = 0.125$$
