You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(1 - 0.36\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 1 - 0.36 = \frac{16}{25} = 0.64 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{1}\) and \(\frac{-36}{100}\) is \(100\). \[ \begin{aligned} 1 - 0.36 &= \frac{1 \cdot 100}{1 \cdot 100} + \frac{-36 \cdot 1}{100 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{100 + -36}{100} \\ &= \frac{64}{100} \\&= \frac{16}{25} \end{aligned} \]
