Solve 2+5div6-3

$$2+5 \div 6-3$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{1}{6}\approx -0.166666667$$

Solution Steps

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{12}{6}.

$$\frac{12}{6}+\frac{5}{6}-3$$

Since \frac{12}{6} and \frac{5}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{12+5}{6}-3$$

Add 12 and 5 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{6}-3$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{18}{6}.

$$\frac{17}{6}-\frac{18}{6}$$

Since \frac{17}{6} and \frac{18}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{17-18}{6}$$

Subtract 18 from 17 to get -1.

$$-\frac{1}{6}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{1}{6} = -0.16666666666666666$$
