Solve -4-1/9+8

$$- 4 - \frac { 1 } { 9 } + 8$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{35}{9}\approx 3.888888889$$

Solution Steps

Convert -4 to fraction -\frac{36}{9}.

$$-\frac{36}{9}-\frac{1}{9}+8$$

Since -\frac{36}{9} and \frac{1}{9} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-36-1}{9}+8$$

Subtract 1 from -36 to get -37.

$$-\frac{37}{9}+8$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{72}{9}.

$$-\frac{37}{9}+\frac{72}{9}$$

Since -\frac{37}{9} and \frac{72}{9} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-37+72}{9}$$

Add -37 and 72 to get 35.

$$\frac{35}{9}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 \cdot 7}{3 ^ {2}} = 3\frac{8}{9} = 3.888888888888889$$
