Solve 41/6-1/2*9=

$$4 \frac { 1 } { 6 } - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \times 9 =$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{1}{3}\approx -0.333333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 6 to get 24.

$$\frac{24+1}{6}-\frac{1}{2}\times 9$$

Add 24 and 1 to get 25.

$$\frac{25}{6}-\frac{1}{2}\times 9$$

Multiply \frac{1}{2} and 9 to get \frac{9}{2}.

$$\frac{25}{6}-\frac{9}{2}$$

Least common multiple of 6 and 2 is 6. Convert \frac{25}{6} and \frac{9}{2} to fractions with denominator 6.

$$\frac{25}{6}-\frac{27}{6}$$

Since \frac{25}{6} and \frac{27}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{25-27}{6}$$

Subtract 27 from 25 to get -2.

$$\frac{-2}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-2}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

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

Factor

$$-\frac{1}{3} = -0.3333333333333333$$
