Solve 56/6-31/6

$$5 \frac { 6 } { 6 } - 3 \frac { 1 } { 6 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{17}{6}\approx 2.833333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 5 and 6 to get 30.

$$\frac{30+6}{6}-\frac{3\times 6+1}{6}$$

Add 30 and 6 to get 36.

$$\frac{36}{6}-\frac{3\times 6+1}{6}$$

Divide 36 by 6 to get 6.

$$6-\frac{3\times 6+1}{6}$$

Multiply 3 and 6 to get 18.

$$6-\frac{18+1}{6}$$

Add 18 and 1 to get 19.

$$6-\frac{19}{6}$$

Convert 6 to fraction \frac{36}{6}.

$$\frac{36}{6}-\frac{19}{6}$$

Since \frac{36}{6} and \frac{19}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{36-19}{6}$$

Subtract 19 from 36 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{17}{2 \cdot 3} = 2\frac{5}{6} = 2.8333333333333335$$
