Solve 33/4-31/4

$$3 \frac { 3 } { 4 } - 3 \frac { 1 } { 4 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{2}=0.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.

$$\frac{12+3}{4}-\frac{3\times 4+1}{4}$$

Add 12 and 3 to get 15.

$$\frac{15}{4}-\frac{3\times 4+1}{4}$$

Multiply 3 and 4 to get 12.

$$\frac{15}{4}-\frac{12+1}{4}$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$\frac{15}{4}-\frac{13}{4}$$

Since \frac{15}{4} and \frac{13}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{15-13}{4}$$

Subtract 13 from 15 to get 2.

$$\frac{2}{4}$$

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

$$\frac{1}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$
