Solve 160/10+69/10-50/10+9/10

$$\frac{ 160 }{ 10 } + \frac{ 69 }{ 10 } - \frac{ 50 }{ 10 } + \frac{ 9 }{ 10 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{94}{5}=18.8$$

Solution Steps

Since \frac{160}{10} and \frac{69}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{160+69}{10}-\frac{50}{10}+\frac{9}{10}$$

Add 160 and 69 to get 229.

$$\frac{229}{10}-\frac{50}{10}+\frac{9}{10}$$

Since \frac{229}{10} and \frac{50}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{229-50}{10}+\frac{9}{10}$$

Subtract 50 from 229 to get 179.

$$\frac{179}{10}+\frac{9}{10}$$

Since \frac{179}{10} and \frac{9}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{179+9}{10}$$

Add 179 and 9 to get 188.

$$\frac{188}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{188}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{94}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 47}{5} = 18\frac{4}{5} = 18.8$$
