what is 7 thousandths less than 4.669
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(4.669 - \frac{7}{1000}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 4.669 - \frac{7}{1000} = \frac{2331}{500} = 4.662 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{4}{1}\), \(\frac{669}{1000}\), and \(\frac{-7}{1000}\) is \(1000\). \[ \begin{aligned} 4.669 - \frac{7}{1000} &= \frac{4 \cdot 1000}{1 \cdot 1000} + \frac{669 \cdot 1}{1000 \cdot 1} + \frac{-7 \cdot 1}{1000 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{4000 + 669 + -7}{1000} \\ &= \frac{4662}{1000} \\&= \frac{2331}{500} \end{aligned} \]
