Solve -41/3-2.2

$$- 4 \frac { 1 } { 3 } - 2.2$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{98}{15}\approx -6.533333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.

$$-\frac{12+1}{3}-2.2$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$-\frac{13}{3}-2.2$$

Convert decimal number 2.2 to fraction \frac{22}{10}. Reduce the fraction \frac{22}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$-\frac{13}{3}-\frac{11}{5}$$

Least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15. Convert -\frac{13}{3} and \frac{11}{5} to fractions with denominator 15.

$$-\frac{65}{15}-\frac{33}{15}$$

Since -\frac{65}{15} and \frac{33}{15} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-65-33}{15}$$

Subtract 33 from -65 to get -98.

$$-\frac{98}{15}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{98}{15} = -6\frac{8}{15} = -6.533333333333333$$
