Solve 7-45/8

$$7-4 \frac{ 5 }{ 8 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{19}{8}=2.375$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 8 to get 32.

$$7-\frac{32+5}{8}$$

Add 32 and 5 to get 37.

$$7-\frac{37}{8}$$

Convert 7 to fraction \frac{56}{8}.

$$\frac{56}{8}-\frac{37}{8}$$

Since \frac{56}{8} and \frac{37}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{56-37}{8}$$

Subtract 37 from 56 to get 19.

$$\frac{19}{8}$$

Factor

$$\frac{19}{2 ^ {3}} = 2\frac{3}{8} = 2.375$$
