Solve 143/11-88/11=

$$14 \frac { 3 } { 11 } - 8 \frac { 8 } { 11 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{61}{11}\approx 5.545454545$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 14 and 11 to get 154.

$$\frac{154+3}{11}-\frac{8\times 11+8}{11}$$

Add 154 and 3 to get 157.

$$\frac{157}{11}-\frac{8\times 11+8}{11}$$

Multiply 8 and 11 to get 88.

$$\frac{157}{11}-\frac{88+8}{11}$$

Add 88 and 8 to get 96.

$$\frac{157}{11}-\frac{96}{11}$$

Since \frac{157}{11} and \frac{96}{11} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{157-96}{11}$$

Subtract 96 from 157 to get 61.

$$\frac{61}{11}$$

Factor

$$\frac{61}{11} = 5\frac{6}{11} = 5.545454545454546$$
