Solve 8-25/6

$$8 - 2 \frac { 5 } { 6 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{31}{6}\approx 5.166666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 2 and 6 to get 12.

$$8-\frac{12+5}{6}$$

Add 12 and 5 to get 17.

$$8-\frac{17}{6}$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{48}{6}.

$$\frac{48}{6}-\frac{17}{6}$$

Since \frac{48}{6} and \frac{17}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{48-17}{6}$$

Subtract 17 from 48 to get 31.

$$\frac{31}{6}$$

Factor

$$\frac{31}{2 \cdot 3} = 5\frac{1}{6} = 5.166666666666667$$
