\[ 5 - 0.18 = \frac{241}{50} = 4.82 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{1}\) and \(\frac{-18}{100}\) is \(100\). \[ \begin{aligned} 5 - 0.18 &= \frac{5 \cdot 100}{1 \cdot 100} + \frac{-18 \cdot 1}{100 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{500 + -18}{100} \\ &= \frac{482}{100} \\&= \frac{241}{50} \end{aligned} \]
