You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(18 - \frac{9}{10}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 18 - \frac{9}{10} = \frac{171}{10} = 17.1 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{18}{1}\) and \(\frac{-9}{10}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} 18 - \frac{9}{10} &= \frac{18 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{-9 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{180 + -9}{10} \\ &= \frac{171}{10} \end{aligned} \]
