5/6th of 348 - 1/8th of 232=?

Options

A. 267
B. 258
C. 257
D. 261

Answer

To solve the question \( \frac{5}{6} \text{ of } 348 - \frac{1}{8} \text{ of } 232 \), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate \( \frac{5}{6} \text{ of } 348 \)

To find \( \frac{5}{6} \text{ of } 348 \), we multiply \( 348 \) by \( \frac{5}{6} \):

\[ \frac{5}{6} \times 348 = \frac{5 \times 348}{6} \]

Calculating \( 5 \times 348 \):

\[ 5 \times 348 = 1740 \]

Now, divide \( 1740 \) by \( 6 \):

\[ \frac{1740}{6} = 290 \]

### Step 2: Calculate \( \frac{1}{8} \text{ of } 232 \)

Next, we find \( \frac{1}{8} \text{ of } 232 \) by multiplying \( 232 \) by \( \frac{1}{8} \):

\[ \frac{1}{8} \times 232 = \frac{232}{8} \]

Calculating \( \frac{232}{8} \):

\[ \frac{232}{8} = 29 \]

### Step 3: Subtract the two results

Now, we subtract the result from Step 2 from the result of Step 1:

\[ 290 - 29 = 261 \]

### Final Answer

Thus, the answer to the question \( \frac{5}{6} \text{ of } 348 - \frac{1}{8} \text{ of } 232 \) is:

\[ \boxed{261} \]
