Solve 5+3/16-6

$$5 + \frac { 3 } { 16 } - 6$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{13}{16}=-0.8125$$

Solution Steps

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{80}{16}.

$$\frac{80}{16}+\frac{3}{16}-6$$

Since \frac{80}{16} and \frac{3}{16} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{80+3}{16}-6$$

Add 80 and 3 to get 83.

$$\frac{83}{16}-6$$

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{96}{16}.

$$\frac{83}{16}-\frac{96}{16}$$

Since \frac{83}{16} and \frac{96}{16} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{83-96}{16}$$

Subtract 96 from 83 to get -13.

$$-\frac{13}{16}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{13}{16} = -0.8125$$
