00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.132
Here is the problem: 10 plus 9 times (8 minus 5) / 8.

2
00:00:05.582 --> 00:00:09.634
Exact arithmetic with fractions (results kept in lowest terms).

3
00:00:10.434 --> 00:00:12.083
Subtract the whole numbers.

4
00:00:12.533 --> 00:00:15.819
Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.

5
00:00:16.269 --> 00:00:19.996
Dividing by a fraction means multiplying by its reciprocal.

6
00:00:20.446 --> 00:00:23.801
Multiply numerators and multiply denominators.

7
00:00:24.601 --> 00:00:30.406
Rewrite both fractions with the least common denominator. The LCD of 1 and 8 is 8.

8
00:00:30.856 --> 00:00:33.143
Add the numerators and keep the denominator.

9
00:00:33.593 --> 00:00:35.683
Final answer in lowest terms.

10
00:00:36.483 --> 00:00:39.513
So the answer is 107 over 8.

11
00:00:39.963 --> 00:00:52.978
Fractions are combined over a common denominator for addition and subtraction, multiplied straight across, and divided by multiplying by the reciprocal. The result is reduced by the greatest common factor.

12
00:00:53.778 --> 00:00:59.304
Decimal check: 107 over 8 approximately 13.375.

13
00:00:59.754 --> 00:01:02.831
As a mixed number: 13 3 over 8.
