$$12 + 10 \times ( - \frac { 3 } { 13 } )$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{126}{13}\approx 9.692307692$$

Solution Steps

Express 10\left(-\frac{3}{13}\right) as a single fraction.

$$12+\frac{10\left(-3\right)}{13}$$

Multiply 10 and -3 to get -30.

$$12+\frac{-30}{13}$$

Fraction \frac{-30}{13} can be rewritten as -\frac{30}{13} by extracting the negative sign.

$$12-\frac{30}{13}$$

Convert 12 to fraction \frac{156}{13}.

$$\frac{156}{13}-\frac{30}{13}$$

Since \frac{156}{13} and \frac{30}{13} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{156-30}{13}$$

Subtract 30 from 156 to get 126.

$$\frac{126}{13}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 3 ^ {2} \cdot 7}{13} = 9\frac{9}{13} = 9.692307692307692$$
