You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{9}{25} - \frac{4}{5}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{9}{25} - \frac{4}{5} = - \frac{11}{25} = -0.44 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{9}{25}\) and \(\frac{-4}{5}\) is \(25\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{9}{25} - \frac{4}{5} &= \frac{9 \cdot 1}{25 \cdot 1} + \frac{-4 \cdot 5}{5 \cdot 5} \\ &= \frac{9 + -20}{25} \\ &= \frac{-11}{25} \end{aligned} \]
