Solve 62/50+(-47/25)

$$6 \frac { 2 } { 50 } + ( - 4 \frac { 7 } { 25 } )$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{44}{25}=1.76$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 6 and 50 to get 300.

$$\frac{300+2}{50}-\frac{4\times 25+7}{25}$$

Add 300 and 2 to get 302.

$$\frac{302}{50}-\frac{4\times 25+7}{25}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{302}{50} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{151}{25}-\frac{4\times 25+7}{25}$$

Multiply 4 and 25 to get 100.

$$\frac{151}{25}-\frac{100+7}{25}$$

Add 100 and 7 to get 107.

$$\frac{151}{25}-\frac{107}{25}$$

Since \frac{151}{25} and \frac{107}{25} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{151-107}{25}$$

Subtract 107 from 151 to get 44.

$$\frac{44}{25}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 11}{5 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{19}{25} = 1.76$$
