$$20 - \frac { 3 } { 11 } \times 50$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{70}{11}\approx 6.363636364$$

Solution Steps

Express \frac{3}{11}\times 50 as a single fraction.

$$20-\frac{3\times 50}{11}$$

Multiply 3 and 50 to get 150.

$$20-\frac{150}{11}$$

Convert 20 to fraction \frac{220}{11}.

$$\frac{220}{11}-\frac{150}{11}$$

Since \frac{220}{11} and \frac{150}{11} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{220-150}{11}$$

Subtract 150 from 220 to get 70.

$$\frac{70}{11}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 5 \cdot 7}{11} = 6\frac{4}{11} = 6.363636363636363$$
