Solve 1--28-5/6

$$1- \frac{ -28-5 }{ 6 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{13}{2}=6.5$$

Solution Steps

Subtract 5 from -28 to get -33.

$$1-\frac{-33}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-33}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$1-\left(-\frac{11}{2}\right)$$

The opposite of -\frac{11}{2} is \frac{11}{2}.

$$1+\frac{11}{2}$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{2}{2}.

$$\frac{2}{2}+\frac{11}{2}$$

Since \frac{2}{2} and \frac{11}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{2+11}{2}$$

Add 2 and 11 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{13}{2} = 6\frac{1}{2} = 6.5$$
