$$10 - ( 1.25 + 0.2 ) \div 0.5$$

Evaluate

$$7.1$$

Solution Steps

Add 1.25 and 0.2 to get 1.45.

$$10-\frac{1.45}{0.5}$$

Expand \frac{1.45}{0.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$10-\frac{145}{50}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{145}{50} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$10-\frac{29}{10}$$

Convert 10 to fraction \frac{100}{10}.

$$\frac{100}{10}-\frac{29}{10}$$

Since \frac{100}{10} and \frac{29}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{100-29}{10}$$

Subtract 29 from 100 to get 71.

$$\frac{71}{10}$$

Factor

$$\frac{71}{2 \cdot 5} = 7\frac{1}{10} = 7.1$$
