Solve -8/3-4+16

$$- \frac { 8 } { 3 } - 4 + 16$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{28}{3}\approx 9.333333333$$

Solution Steps

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

$$-\frac{8}{3}-\frac{12}{3}+16$$

Since -\frac{8}{3} and \frac{12}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-8-12}{3}+16$$

Subtract 12 from -8 to get -20.

$$-\frac{20}{3}+16$$

Convert 16 to fraction \frac{48}{3}.

$$-\frac{20}{3}+\frac{48}{3}$$

Since -\frac{20}{3} and \frac{48}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-20+48}{3}$$

Add -20 and 48 to get 28.

$$\frac{28}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 7}{3} = 9\frac{1}{3} = 9.333333333333334$$
