Solve 35/5-31/3

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{2}{3}\approx 0.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 5 to get 15.

$$\frac{15+5}{5}-\frac{3\times 3+1}{3}$$

Add 15 and 5 to get 20.

$$\frac{20}{5}-\frac{3\times 3+1}{3}$$

Divide 20 by 5 to get 4.

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

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$4-\frac{9+1}{3}$$

Add 9 and 1 to get 10.

$$4-\frac{10}{3}$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{12}{3}.

$$\frac{12}{3}-\frac{10}{3}$$

Since \frac{12}{3} and \frac{10}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{12-10}{3}$$

Subtract 10 from 12 to get 2.

$$\frac{2}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2}{3} = 0.6666666666666666$$
