Evaluate

$$-\frac{304}{9}\approx -33.777777778$$

Solution Steps

The opposite of -\frac{250}{9} is \frac{250}{9}.

$$-\frac{500}{9}+\frac{250}{9}-6$$

$$-\frac{250}{9}-6$$

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{54}{9}.

$$-\frac{250}{9}-\frac{54}{9}$$

Since -\frac{250}{9} and \frac{54}{9} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-250-54}{9}$$

Subtract 54 from -250 to get -304.

$$-\frac{304}{9}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{304}{9} = -33\frac{7}{9} = -33.77777777777778$$
