Solve 33/5-2*1/10

$$3 \frac { 3 } { 5 } - 2 \cdot \frac { 1 } { 10 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{17}{5}=3.4$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 5 to get 15.

$$\frac{15+3}{5}-2\times \frac{1}{10}$$

Add 15 and 3 to get 18.

$$\frac{18}{5}-2\times \frac{1}{10}$$

Multiply 2 and \frac{1}{10} to get \frac{2}{10}.

$$\frac{18}{5}-\frac{2}{10}$$

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

$$\frac{18}{5}-\frac{1}{5}$$

Since \frac{18}{5} and \frac{1}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{18-1}{5}$$

Subtract 1 from 18 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{17}{5} = 3\frac{2}{5} = 3.4$$
