You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(25 - \frac{49}{25}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 25 - \frac{49}{25} = \frac{576}{25} = 23.04 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{25}{1}\) and \(\frac{-49}{25}\) is \(25\). \[ \begin{aligned} 25 - \frac{49}{25} &= \frac{25 \cdot 25}{1 \cdot 25} + \frac{-49 \cdot 1}{25 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{625 + -49}{25} \\ &= \frac{576}{25} \end{aligned} \]
