Question

4-5/8 X 4 how does this come to 3/2 and break this down step by step

4 - 5/8 x 4 = 4 - 5/2 = 8/2 - 5/2 =3/2

Answer 2

So i subtract first?

Answer 3

and sorry for the previous one :D

Answer 4

I did this for you on your other post. I will break it down even further if that is what you need.
You have to solve the multiplication first.
\[4 - [5/8*4]\]
\[[5/8*4/1]\] you get 20/8
4 = 32/8 you need to find the least common multiple in order to add or subtract fractions
so, you end up with (32/8) - (20/8) = 12/8
This can be reduced down to 3/2 by a factor of 4.
Hope this helps.
