3/5 - 1/10
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{10}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{3}{5}\) and \(\frac{-1}{10}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{10} &= \frac{3 \cdot 2}{5 \cdot 2} + \frac{-1 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{6 + -1}{10} \\ &= \frac{5}{10} \\&= \frac{1}{2} \end{aligned} \]
