You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(55 - \frac{55}{55}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 55 - \frac{55}{55} = 54 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{55}{1}\) and \(\frac{-55}{55}\) is \(55\). \[ \begin{aligned} 55 - \frac{55}{55} &= \frac{55 \cdot 55}{1 \cdot 55} + \frac{-55 \cdot 1}{55 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{3025 + -55}{55} \\ &= \frac{2970}{55} \\&= 54 \end{aligned} \]
