Solve 5-33/8

$$5 - 3 \frac { 3 } { 8 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{13}{8}=1.625$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 8 to get 24.

$$5-\frac{24+3}{8}$$

Add 24 and 3 to get 27.

$$5-\frac{27}{8}$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{40}{8}.

$$\frac{40}{8}-\frac{27}{8}$$

Since \frac{40}{8} and \frac{27}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{40-27}{8}$$

Subtract 27 from 40 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{8}$$

Factor

$$\frac{13}{2 ^ {3}} = 1\frac{5}{8} = 1.625$$
