Solve 55/5-22/7=

$$5 \frac { 5 } { 5 } - 2 \frac { 2 } { 7 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{26}{7}\approx 3.714285714$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 5 and 5 to get 25.

$$\frac{25+5}{5}-\frac{2\times 7+2}{7}$$

Add 25 and 5 to get 30.

$$\frac{30}{5}-\frac{2\times 7+2}{7}$$

Divide 30 by 5 to get 6.

$$6-\frac{2\times 7+2}{7}$$

Multiply 2 and 7 to get 14.

$$6-\frac{14+2}{7}$$

Add 14 and 2 to get 16.

$$6-\frac{16}{7}$$

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{42}{7}.

$$\frac{42}{7}-\frac{16}{7}$$

Since \frac{42}{7} and \frac{16}{7} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{42-16}{7}$$

Subtract 16 from 42 to get 26.

$$\frac{26}{7}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 13}{7} = 3\frac{5}{7} = 3.7142857142857144$$
