Question

$$\frac { 5 } { 4 } \frac { - 3 } { 8 }$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{15}{32}=-0.46875$

Solution Steps

Fraction $\frac{-3}{8}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{3}{8}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$\frac{5}{4}\left(-\frac{3}{8}\right)$$

Multiply $\frac{5}{4}$ times $-\frac{3}{8}$ by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

$$\frac{5\left(-3\right)}{4\times 8}$$

Do the multiplications in the fraction $\frac{5\left(-3\right)}{4\times 8}$.

$$\frac{-15}{32}$$

Fraction $\frac{-15}{32}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{15}{32}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{15}{32}$$

Factor

$-\frac{15}{32} = -0.46875$
