Solve 32/4-23/4=

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{4}=0.75$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.

$$\frac{12+2}{4}-\frac{2\times 4+3}{4}$$

Add 12 and 2 to get 14.

$$\frac{14}{4}-\frac{2\times 4+3}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{14}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{7}{2}-\frac{2\times 4+3}{4}$$

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$\frac{7}{2}-\frac{8+3}{4}$$

Add 8 and 3 to get 11.

$$\frac{7}{2}-\frac{11}{4}$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 4 is 4. Convert \frac{7}{2} and \frac{11}{4} to fractions with denominator 4.

$$\frac{14}{4}-\frac{11}{4}$$

Since \frac{14}{4} and \frac{11}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{14-11}{4}$$

Subtract 11 from 14 to get 3.

$$\frac{3}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{2 ^ {2}} = 0.75$$
