Question

$$\frac{ 8 }{ 8 } - \frac{ 7 }{ 2 }$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{5}{2}=-2.5$

Solution Steps

Divide $8$ by $8$ to get $1$.

$$1-\frac{7}{2}$$

Convert $1$ to fraction $\frac{2}{2}$.

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

Since $\frac{2}{2}$ and $\frac{7}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract $7$ from $2$ to get $-5$.

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

Factor

$-\frac{5}{2} = -2\frac{1}{2} = -2.5$
