Question

$$-5-1/7$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{36}{7}\approx -5.142857143$

Solution Steps

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

$$-\frac{35}{7}-\frac{1}{7}$$

Since $-\frac{35}{7}$ and $\frac{1}{7}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-35-1}{7}$$

Subtract $1$ from $-35$ to get $-36$.

$$-\frac{36}{7}$$

Factor

$-\frac{36}{7} = -5\frac{1}{7} = -5.142857142857143$
