Solve 4+1/25-3/5

$$4 + \frac { 1 } { 25 } - \frac { 3 } { 5 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{86}{25}=3.44$$

Solution Steps

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{100}{25}.

$$\frac{100}{25}+\frac{1}{25}-\frac{3}{5}$$

Since \frac{100}{25} and \frac{1}{25} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{100+1}{25}-\frac{3}{5}$$

Add 100 and 1 to get 101.

$$\frac{101}{25}-\frac{3}{5}$$

Least common multiple of 25 and 5 is 25. Convert \frac{101}{25} and \frac{3}{5} to fractions with denominator 25.

$$\frac{101}{25}-\frac{15}{25}$$

Since \frac{101}{25} and \frac{15}{25} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{101-15}{25}$$

Subtract 15 from 101 to get 86.

$$\frac{86}{25}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 43}{5 ^ {2}} = 3\frac{11}{25} = 3.44$$
