Solve 9/4-1/4+1/5

$$\frac { 9 } { 4 } - \frac { 1 } { 4 } + \frac { 1 } { 5 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{11}{5}=2.2$$

Solution Steps

Since \frac{9}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{9-1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}$$

Subtract 1 from 9 to get 8.

$$\frac{8}{4}+\frac{1}{5}$$

Divide 8 by 4 to get 2.

$$2+\frac{1}{5}$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{10}{5}.

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

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

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

Add 10 and 1 to get 11.

$$\frac{11}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{11}{5} = 2\frac{1}{5} = 2.2$$
