Solve 219/60-72/60

$$2 \frac { 19 } { 60 } - \frac{ 72 }{ 60 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{67}{60}\approx 1.116666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 60 to get 120.

$$\frac{120+19}{60}-\frac{72}{60}$$

Add 120 and 19 to get 139.

$$\frac{139}{60}-\frac{72}{60}$$

Since \frac{139}{60} and \frac{72}{60} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{139-72}{60}$$

Subtract 72 from 139 to get 67.

$$\frac{67}{60}$$

Factor

$$\frac{67}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3 \cdot 5} = 1\frac{7}{60} = 1.1166666666666667$$
