Question

$$2/8-23$$

$-\frac{91}{4}=-22.75$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{2}{8}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{1}{4}-23$$

Convert $23$ to fraction $\frac{92}{4}$.

$$\frac{1}{4}-\frac{92}{4}$$

Since $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{92}{4}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{1-92}{4}$$

Subtract $92$ from $1$ to get $-91$.

$$-\frac{91}{4}$$

$-\frac{91}{4} = -22\frac{3}{4} = -22.75$
