Solve 12*3/2=5/8-37

$$12 \times \frac { 3 } { 2 } = \frac { 5 } { 8 } - 37$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Express 12\times \frac{3}{2} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{12\times 3}{2}=\frac{5}{8}-37$$

Multiply 12 and 3 to get 36.

$$\frac{36}{2}=\frac{5}{8}-37$$

Divide 36 by 2 to get 18.

$$18=\frac{5}{8}-37$$

Convert 37 to fraction \frac{296}{8}.

$$18=\frac{5}{8}-\frac{296}{8}$$

Since \frac{5}{8} and \frac{296}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$18=\frac{5-296}{8}$$

Subtract 296 from 5 to get -291.

$$18=-\frac{291}{8}$$

Convert 18 to fraction \frac{144}{8}.

$$\frac{144}{8}=-\frac{291}{8}$$

Compare \frac{144}{8} and -\frac{291}{8}.

$$\text{false}$$
