Question

$$=8\times\frac{-16}{6}+4$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{52}{3}\approx -17.333333333$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction $\frac{-16}{6}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$8\left(-\frac{8}{3}\right)+4$$

Express $8\left(-\frac{8}{3}\right)$ as a single fraction.

$$\frac{8\left(-8\right)}{3}+4$$

Multiply $8$ and $-8$ to get $-64$.

$$\frac{-64}{3}+4$$

Fraction $\frac{-64}{3}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{64}{3}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{64}{3}+4$$

Convert $4$ to fraction $\frac{12}{3}$.

$$-\frac{64}{3}+\frac{12}{3}$$

Since $-\frac{64}{3}$ and $\frac{12}{3}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-64+12}{3}$$

Add $-64$ and $12$ to get $-52$.

$$-\frac{52}{3}$$
