You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(25 - \frac{5}{9}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 25 - \frac{5}{9} = \frac{220}{9} = 24.\overline{4} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{25}{1}\) and \(\frac{-5}{9}\) is \(9\). \[ \begin{aligned} 25 - \frac{5}{9} &= \frac{25 \cdot 9}{1 \cdot 9} + \frac{-5 \cdot 1}{9 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{225 + -5}{9} \\ &= \frac{220}{9} \end{aligned} \]
