Evaluate the expression: \(8.6 - 4.51\)

MathBot Answer:

\[8.6 - 4.51 = \frac{409}{100} = 4.09\]


\[\begin{aligned}8.6 - 4.51& = 8 + \frac{6}{10} - \left(4 + \frac{51}{100}\right)\\& = 8 + \frac{3}{5} - \left(4 + \frac{51}{100}\right)\\& = 8 + \frac{3}{5} - \frac{451}{100}\\& = \frac{43}{5} - \frac{451}{100}\\& = \frac{409}{100}\end{aligned}\]
