8 / 10 - 10
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{8}{10} - 10\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{8}{10} - 10 = - \frac{46}{5} = -9.2 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{8}{10}\) and \(\frac{-10}{1}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{8}{10} - 10 &= \frac{8 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} + \frac{-10 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} \\ &= \frac{8 + -100}{10} \\ &= \frac{-92}{10} \\&= - \frac{46}{5} \end{aligned} \]
