You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(4 - \frac{9}{5}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 4 - \frac{9}{5} = \frac{11}{5} = 2.2 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{4}{1}\) and \(\frac{-9}{5}\) is \(5\). \[ \begin{aligned} 4 - \frac{9}{5} &= \frac{4 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{-9 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{20 + -9}{5} \\ &= \frac{11}{5} \end{aligned} \]
