Question

$$5-2\frac{4}{7}$$

Evaluate

$\frac{17}{7}\approx 2.428571429$

Solution Steps

Multiply $2$ and $7$ to get $14$.

$$5-\frac{14+4}{7}$$

Add $14$ and $4$ to get $18$.

$$5-\frac{18}{7}$$

Convert $5$ to fraction $\frac{35}{7}$.

$$\frac{35}{7}-\frac{18}{7}$$

Since $\frac{35}{7}$ and $\frac{18}{7}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{35-18}{7}$$

Subtract $18$ from $35$ to get $17$.

$$\frac{17}{7}$$
