You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(90 - \frac{56}{8}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 90 - \frac{56}{8} = 83 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{90}{1}\) and \(\frac{-56}{8}\) is \(8\). \[ \begin{aligned} 90 - \frac{56}{8} &= \frac{90 \cdot 8}{1 \cdot 8} + \frac{-56 \cdot 1}{8 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{720 + -56}{8} \\ &= \frac{664}{8} \\&= 83 \end{aligned} \]
