Solve 62/4-51/2

$$6 \frac { 2 } { 4 } - 5 \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$1$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 6 and 4 to get 24.

$$\frac{24+2}{4}-\frac{5\times 2+1}{2}$$

Add 24 and 2 to get 26.

$$\frac{26}{4}-\frac{5\times 2+1}{2}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{26}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{13}{2}-\frac{5\times 2+1}{2}$$

Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.

$$\frac{13}{2}-\frac{10+1}{2}$$

Add 10 and 1 to get 11.

$$\frac{13}{2}-\frac{11}{2}$$

Since \frac{13}{2} and \frac{11}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{13-11}{2}$$

Subtract 11 from 13 to get 2.

$$\frac{2}{2}$$

Divide 2 by 2 to get 1.

$$1$$

Factor

$$1$$
