You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{48}{125} - \frac{7}{25}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{48}{125} - \frac{7}{25} = \frac{13}{125} = 0.104 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{48}{125}\) and \(\frac{-7}{25}\) is \(125\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{48}{125} - \frac{7}{25} &= \frac{48 \cdot 1}{125 \cdot 1} + \frac{-7 \cdot 5}{25 \cdot 5} \\ &= \frac{48 + -35}{125} \\ &= \frac{13}{125} \end{aligned} \]
