Solve 2+5-6div8*7

$$2 + 5 - 6 \div 8 \times 7$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{7}{4}=1.75$$

Solution Steps

Add 2 and 5 to get 7.

$$7-\frac{6}{8}\times 7$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$7-\frac{3}{4}\times 7$$

Express \frac{3}{4}\times 7 as a single fraction.

$$7-\frac{3\times 7}{4}$$

Multiply 3 and 7 to get 21.

$$7-\frac{21}{4}$$

Convert 7 to fraction \frac{28}{4}.

$$\frac{28}{4}-\frac{21}{4}$$

Since \frac{28}{4} and \frac{21}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{28-21}{4}$$

Subtract 21 from 28 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{7}{2 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{3}{4} = 1.75$$
