5 x 3/4 = 15/4
15/4 = 3 3/4
- 1/3 -5/8
-8/24 - 15/24
-23/24
The first step is to find the least common denominator. The LCD of 3 and 8 is 24. Now, mulitply -1/3 by 8/8 and -5/8 by 3/3. This will give you fractions with equal denominators which you need to find before subtracting. Finally, you simplify the equation. Since this cannot be simplified, -23/24 is the answer
Here, we want to express the given fraction as a decimal by the use of long division
We start by writing the long division sign
We place 5 on the left hand side outside and place 4 inside the long division sign
Now, as we know, 4 cannot divide 5 wholly as it is less than 5
We simply add a 0 at the top of the long division symbol, with a decimal point after it.
Concurrently, we place a zero after 4
Hence we have 40 inside the long division
Then we can divide 40 by 5 to get 8
The 8 now comes after the decimal point
Hence, our answer is 0.8
Pictorally, we can have the representation as follows;
