You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(6 - 0.2\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 6 - 0.2 = \frac{29}{5} = 5.8 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{6}{1}\) and \(\frac{-2}{10}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} 6 - 0.2 &= \frac{6 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{-2 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{60 + -2}{10} \\ &= \frac{58}{10} \\&= \frac{29}{5} \end{aligned} \]
