Solve 35/12-13/3=

$$3 \frac { 5 } { 12 } - 1 \frac { 3 } { 3 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{17}{12}\approx 1.416666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 12 to get 36.

$$\frac{36+5}{12}-\frac{1\times 3+3}{3}$$

Add 36 and 5 to get 41.

$$\frac{41}{12}-\frac{1\times 3+3}{3}$$

Multiply 1 and 3 to get 3.

$$\frac{41}{12}-\frac{3+3}{3}$$

Add 3 and 3 to get 6.

$$\frac{41}{12}-\frac{6}{3}$$

Divide 6 by 3 to get 2.

$$\frac{41}{12}-2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{24}{12}.

$$\frac{41}{12}-\frac{24}{12}$$

Since \frac{41}{12} and \frac{24}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{41-24}{12}$$

Subtract 24 from 41 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{12}$$

Factor

$$\frac{17}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 1\frac{5}{12} = 1.4166666666666667$$
