You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(1 - \frac{10}{20}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 1 - \frac{10}{20} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{1}\) and \(\frac{-10}{20}\) is \(20\). \[ \begin{aligned} 1 - \frac{10}{20} &= \frac{1 \cdot 20}{1 \cdot 20} + \frac{-10 \cdot 1}{20 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{20 + -10}{20} \\ &= \frac{10}{20} \\&= \frac{1}{2} \end{aligned} \]
