You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{12}{25} - \frac{60}{169}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{12}{25} - \frac{60}{169} = \frac{528}{4225} = 0.12\overline{497041420118343195266272189349112426035502958579881656804733727810650887573964} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{12}{25}\) and \(\frac{-60}{169}\) is \(4225\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{12}{25} - \frac{60}{169} &= \frac{12 \cdot 169}{25 \cdot 169} + \frac{-60 \cdot 25}{169 \cdot 25} \\ &= \frac{2028 + -1500}{4225} \\ &= \frac{528}{4225} \end{aligned} \]
