Solve 152/3-71/3=

$$15 \frac { 2 } { 3 } - 7 \frac { 1 } { 3 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{25}{3}\approx 8.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 15 and 3 to get 45.

$$\frac{45+2}{3}-\frac{7\times 3+1}{3}$$

Add 45 and 2 to get 47.

$$\frac{47}{3}-\frac{7\times 3+1}{3}$$

Multiply 7 and 3 to get 21.

$$\frac{47}{3}-\frac{21+1}{3}$$

Add 21 and 1 to get 22.

$$\frac{47}{3}-\frac{22}{3}$$

Since \frac{47}{3} and \frac{22}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{47-22}{3}$$

Subtract 22 from 47 to get 25.

$$\frac{25}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 ^ {2}}{3} = 8\frac{1}{3} = 8.333333333333334$$
