Question

$$1 - \frac { 2 } { 7 } =$$

Evaluate

$\frac{5}{7}\approx 0.714285714$

Solution Steps

Convert $1$ to fraction $\frac{7}{7}$.

$$\frac{7}{7}-\frac{2}{7}$$

Since $\frac{7}{7}$ and $\frac{2}{7}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{7-2}{7}$$

Subtract $2$ from $7$ to get $5$.

$$\frac{5}{7}$$

Factor

$\frac{5}{7} = 0.7142857142857143$
