$$3 + 8 + 9 \times 7 - 2 / 8$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{295}{4}=73.75$$

Solution Steps

Add 3 and 8 to get 11.

$$11+9\times 7-\frac{2}{8}$$

Multiply 9 and 7 to get 63.

$$11+63-\frac{2}{8}$$

Add 11 and 63 to get 74.

$$74-\frac{2}{8}$$

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

$$74-\frac{1}{4}$$

Convert 74 to fraction \frac{296}{4}.

$$\frac{296}{4}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Since \frac{296}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{296-1}{4}$$

Subtract 1 from 296 to get 295.

$$\frac{295}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 \cdot 59}{2 ^ {2}} = 73\frac{3}{4} = 73.75$$
