Solve 107/10-43/10

$$10 \frac { 7 } { 10 } - 4 \frac { 3 } { 10 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{32}{5}=6.4$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 10 and 10 to get 100.

$$\frac{100+7}{10}-\frac{4\times 10+3}{10}$$

Add 100 and 7 to get 107.

$$\frac{107}{10}-\frac{4\times 10+3}{10}$$

Multiply 4 and 10 to get 40.

$$\frac{107}{10}-\frac{40+3}{10}$$

Add 40 and 3 to get 43.

$$\frac{107}{10}-\frac{43}{10}$$

Since \frac{107}{10} and \frac{43}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{107-43}{10}$$

Subtract 43 from 107 to get 64.

$$\frac{64}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{64}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{32}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {5}}{5} = 6\frac{2}{5} = 6.4$$
