Understand the problem

5−2×34= 5-2\times\frac{3}{4}=

2

Step-by-step solution

We add the 2 to the numerator of the fraction in the multiplication exercise, and the 4 in the denominator of the fraction we break it down into a smaller multiplication exercise:

5−2×32×2= 5-\frac{2\times3}{2\times2}=

We simplify the 2 in the numerator and denominator:

5−32= 5-\frac{3}{2}=

We convert the simple fraction into a mixed fraction:

5−112=312 5-1\frac{1}{2}=3\frac{1}{2}
