Solve 5/2-2+1/10=

$$\frac { 5 } { 2 } - 2 + \frac { 1 } { 10 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{5}=0.6$$

Solution Steps

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{4}{2}.

$$\frac{5}{2}-\frac{4}{2}+\frac{1}{10}$$

Since \frac{5}{2} and \frac{4}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{5-4}{2}+\frac{1}{10}$$

Subtract 4 from 5 to get 1.

$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{10}$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 10 is 10. Convert \frac{1}{2} and \frac{1}{10} to fractions with denominator 10.

$$\frac{5}{10}+\frac{1}{10}$$

Since \frac{5}{10} and \frac{1}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+1}{10}$$

Add 5 and 1 to get 6.

$$\frac{6}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{3}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$$
