= 50/3-64 = 1500-?
= 1500*64/50/3 = 1500*64*3/50.
= 288000/50 = 5760.
= 1500*64/50/3 = 1500*64*3/50.
= 288000/50 = 5760.

Fraction is to be done in that way.
16 * 2 ÷ 3 = 50÷3.
16 * 2 ÷ 3 = 50÷3.

@pawan, @manikandan
1 x 50/3 = 64
Then
1 = 64 x 3/50
1 x 50/3 = 64
Then
1 = 64 x 3/50

Hi @Anjali,
16*3 = 48+2 = 50 [mixed fraction].
16*3 = 48+2 = 50 [mixed fraction].
