Solve 8-64/3+24

$$8 - \frac { 64 } { 3 } + 24$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{32}{3}\approx 10.666666667$$

Solution Steps

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{24}{3}.

$$\frac{24}{3}-\frac{64}{3}+24$$

Since \frac{24}{3} and \frac{64}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{24-64}{3}+24$$

Subtract 64 from 24 to get -40.

$$-\frac{40}{3}+24$$

Convert 24 to fraction \frac{72}{3}.

$$-\frac{40}{3}+\frac{72}{3}$$

Since -\frac{40}{3} and \frac{72}{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-40+72}{3}$$

Add -40 and 72 to get 32.

$$\frac{32}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {5}}{3} = 10\frac{2}{3} = 10.666666666666666$$
