1-5/7
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(1 - \frac{5}{7}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 1 - \frac{5}{7} = \frac{2}{7} = 0.\overline{285714} \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{1}\) and \(\frac{-5}{7}\) is \(7\). \[ \begin{aligned} 1 - \frac{5}{7} &= \frac{1 \cdot 7}{1 \cdot 7} + \frac{-5 \cdot 1}{7 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{7 + -5}{7} \\ &= \frac{2}{7} \end{aligned} \]
