Solve 16+9/4-12

$$16 + \frac { 9 } { 4 } - 12$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{25}{4}=6.25$$

Solution Steps

Convert 16 to fraction \frac{64}{4}.

$$\frac{64}{4}+\frac{9}{4}-12$$

Since \frac{64}{4} and \frac{9}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{64+9}{4}-12$$

Add 64 and 9 to get 73.

$$\frac{73}{4}-12$$

Convert 12 to fraction \frac{48}{4}.

$$\frac{73}{4}-\frac{48}{4}$$

Since \frac{73}{4} and \frac{48}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{73-48}{4}$$

Subtract 48 from 73 to get 25.

$$\frac{25}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 ^ {2}}{2 ^ {2}} = 6\frac{1}{4} = 6.25$$
