You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(5 - \frac{3.5}{2}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[5 - \frac{3.5}{2} = \frac{13}{4} = 3.25\]

\[\begin{aligned}5 - \frac{3.5}{2}& = 5 - \left(3 + \frac{5}{10}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2}\\& = 5 - \left(3 + \frac{1}{2}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2}\\& = 5 - \frac{7}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2}\\& = 5 - \frac{7}{4}\\& = \frac{13}{4}\end{aligned}\]
