Solve 53/11-21/11=

$$5 \frac { 3 } { 11 } - 2 \frac { 1 } { 11 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{35}{11}\approx 3.181818182$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 5 and 11 to get 55.

$$\frac{55+3}{11}-\frac{2\times 11+1}{11}$$

Add 55 and 3 to get 58.

$$\frac{58}{11}-\frac{2\times 11+1}{11}$$

Multiply 2 and 11 to get 22.

$$\frac{58}{11}-\frac{22+1}{11}$$

Add 22 and 1 to get 23.

$$\frac{58}{11}-\frac{23}{11}$$

Since \frac{58}{11} and \frac{23}{11} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{58-23}{11}$$

Subtract 23 from 58 to get 35.

$$\frac{35}{11}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 \cdot 7}{11} = 3\frac{2}{11} = 3.1818181818181817$$
