Solve 69/12-23/4

$$6 \frac{ 9 }{ 12 } -2 \frac{ 3 }{ 4 }$$

Evaluate

$$4$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 6 and 12 to get 72.

$$\frac{72+9}{12}-\frac{2\times 4+3}{4}$$

Add 72 and 9 to get 81.

$$\frac{81}{12}-\frac{2\times 4+3}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{81}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{27}{4}-\frac{2\times 4+3}{4}$$

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$\frac{27}{4}-\frac{8+3}{4}$$

Add 8 and 3 to get 11.

$$\frac{27}{4}-\frac{11}{4}$$

Since \frac{27}{4} and \frac{11}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{27-11}{4}$$

Subtract 11 from 27 to get 16.

$$\frac{16}{4}$$

Divide 16 by 4 to get 4.

$$4$$

Factor

$$2^{2}$$
