Solve 95/6-72/6=

$$9 \frac { 5 } { 6 } - 7 \frac { 2 } { 6 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5}{2}=2.5$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 9 and 6 to get 54.

$$\frac{54+5}{6}-\frac{7\times 6+2}{6}$$

Add 54 and 5 to get 59.

$$\frac{59}{6}-\frac{7\times 6+2}{6}$$

Multiply 7 and 6 to get 42.

$$\frac{59}{6}-\frac{42+2}{6}$$

Add 42 and 2 to get 44.

$$\frac{59}{6}-\frac{44}{6}$$

Since \frac{59}{6} and \frac{44}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{59-44}{6}$$

Subtract 44 from 59 to get 15.

$$\frac{15}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{15}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{5}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5}{2} = 2\frac{1}{2} = 2.5$$
