11/8*7/3-5/24

To solve the expression \( \frac{11}{8} \cdot \frac{7}{3} - \frac{5}{24} \), we can follow these steps:

1. Multiply \( \frac{11}{8} \) and \( \frac{7}{3} \):

\[ \frac{11 \cdot 7}{8 \cdot 3} = \frac{77}{24} \]

2. Now subtract \( \frac{5}{24} \) from \( \frac{77}{24} \):

\[ \frac{77}{24} - \frac{5}{24} = \frac{77 - 5}{24} = \frac{72}{24} \]

3. Simplify \( \frac{72}{24} \):

\[ \frac{72}{24} = 3 \]

Thus, the result of the expression \( \frac{11}{8} \cdot \frac{7}{3} - \frac{5}{24} \) is \( \boxed{3} \).
