Question

$$2+2-5\div2$$

Evaluate

$\frac{3}{2}=1.5$

Solution Steps

Add $2$ and $2$ to get $4$.

$$4-\frac{5}{2}$$

Convert $4$ to fraction $\frac{8}{2}$.

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

Since $\frac{8}{2}$ and $\frac{5}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract $5$ from $8$ to get $3$.

$$\frac{3}{2}$$
