Solve 53/7-41/7=

$$5 \frac { 3 } { 7 } - 4 \frac { 1 } { 7 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{9}{7}\approx 1.285714286$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 5 and 7 to get 35.

$$\frac{35+3}{7}-\frac{4\times 7+1}{7}$$

Add 35 and 3 to get 38.

$$\frac{38}{7}-\frac{4\times 7+1}{7}$$

Multiply 4 and 7 to get 28.

$$\frac{38}{7}-\frac{28+1}{7}$$

Add 28 and 1 to get 29.

$$\frac{38}{7}-\frac{29}{7}$$

Since \frac{38}{7} and \frac{29}{7} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{38-29}{7}$$

Subtract 29 from 38 to get 9.

$$\frac{9}{7}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 ^ {2}}{7} = 1\frac{2}{7} = 1.2857142857142858$$
