Solve 1+3/10-5/10

$$1 + \frac { 3 } { 10 } - \frac { 5 } { 10 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{4}{5}=0.8$$

Solution Steps

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{10}{10}.

$$\frac{10}{10}+\frac{3}{10}-\frac{5}{10}$$

Since \frac{10}{10} and \frac{3}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{10+3}{10}-\frac{5}{10}$$

Add 10 and 3 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{10}-\frac{5}{10}$$

Since \frac{13}{10} and \frac{5}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{13-5}{10}$$

Subtract 5 from 13 to get 8.

$$\frac{8}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{4}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2}}{5} = 0.8$$
