Question

$$4/7-8/4$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{10}{7}\approx -1.428571429$

Solution Steps

Divide $8$ by $4$ to get $2$.

$$\frac{4}{7}-2$$

Convert $2$ to fraction $\frac{14}{7}$.

$$\frac{4}{7}-\frac{14}{7}$$

Since $\frac{4}{7}$ and $\frac{14}{7}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{4-14}{7}$$

Subtract $14$ from $4$ to get $-10$.

$$-\frac{10}{7}$$

Show Solution

Factor

$-\frac{10}{7} = -1\frac{3}{7} = -1.4285714285714286$
