Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) Practice

In the given expression, we start by simplifying the calculation step by step. First, we perform the division \(0.75 ÷ (3/4)\). To divide by a fraction, we multiply by its reciprocal, which gives us:

\[

0.75 ÷ (3/4) = 0.75 \times \frac{4}{3} = 1.0

\]

Next, we substitute this result back into our expression, which now reads:

\[

1.0 - 0.75 - (3/8) + 0.375 - (3/8) - 0.0625 - (1/8)

\]

The next step is simplifying each subtraction. Starting from the left, we have:

\[

1.0 - 0.75 = 0.25

\]

Now we substitute this into the equation:

\[

0.25 - (3/8) + 0.375 - (3/8) - 0.0625 - (1/8)

\]

To continue, we convert \(0.25\) into eighths for easier calculation:

\[

0.25 = \frac{2}{8}
