Solve (90-15-3)÷8: Order of Operations Practice

The fraction bar acts like parentheses around the numerator! You must complete all operations above the bar first, then divide the result by what's below the bar.

When you have multiple subtractions like $90-15-3$, always work from left to right: first $90-15=75$, then $75-3=72$.

Always check if the numerator and denominator share common factors. Here, both 72 and 8 are divisible by 8, so $\frac{72}{8} = 9$.

Yes! Multiply your answer by the denominator. If you get the numerator back, you're correct: $9 \times 8 = 72$ ✓

That's perfectly fine! Many fraction problems result in decimals or mixed numbers. Just make sure your calculations are accurate and verify your work.
