Solve 23/7-14/7=

$$2 \frac { 3 } { 7 } - 1 \frac { 4 } { 7 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{6}{7}\approx 0.857142857$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 7 to get 14.

$$\frac{14+3}{7}-\frac{1\times 7+4}{7}$$

Add 14 and 3 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{7}-\frac{1\times 7+4}{7}$$

Multiply 1 and 7 to get 7.

$$\frac{17}{7}-\frac{7+4}{7}$$

Add 7 and 4 to get 11.

$$\frac{17}{7}-\frac{11}{7}$$

Since \frac{17}{7} and \frac{11}{7} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{17-11}{7}$$

Subtract 11 from 17 to get 6.

$$\frac{6}{7}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 3}{7} = 0.8571428571428571$$
