Question

$$-8+5\times\frac{2}{3}-3=$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{23}{3}\approx -7.666666667$

Solution Steps

Express $5\times \frac{2}{3}$ as a single fraction.

$$-8+\frac{5\times 2}{3}-3$$

Multiply $5$ and $2$ to get $10$.

$$-8+\frac{10}{3}-3$$

Convert $-8$ to fraction $-\frac{24}{3}$.

$$-\frac{24}{3}+\frac{10}{3}-3$$

Since $-\frac{24}{3}$ and $\frac{10}{3}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-24+10}{3}-3$$

Add $-24$ and $10$ to get $-14$.

$$-\frac{14}{3}-3$$

Convert $3$ to fraction $\frac{9}{3}$.

$$-\frac{14}{3}-\frac{9}{3}$$

Since $-\frac{14}{3}$ and $\frac{9}{3}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-14-9}{3}$$

Subtract $9$ from $-14$ to get $-23$.

$$-\frac{23}{3}$$

Factor

$-\frac{23}{3} = -7\frac{2}{3} = -7.666666666666667$
