Solve 10-(4+11/8)

$$10 - ( 4 + 1 \frac { 1 } { 8 } )$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{39}{8}=4.875$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 8 to get 8.

$$10-\left(4+\frac{8+1}{8}\right)$$

Add 8 and 1 to get 9.

$$10-\left(4+\frac{9}{8}\right)$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{32}{8}.

$$10-\left(\frac{32}{8}+\frac{9}{8}\right)$$

Since \frac{32}{8} and \frac{9}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$10-\frac{32+9}{8}$$

Add 32 and 9 to get 41.

$$10-\frac{41}{8}$$

Convert 10 to fraction \frac{80}{8}.

$$\frac{80}{8}-\frac{41}{8}$$

Since \frac{80}{8} and \frac{41}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{80-41}{8}$$

Subtract 41 from 80 to get 39.

$$\frac{39}{8}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 13}{2 ^ {3}} = 4\frac{7}{8} = 4.875$$
