Solve 42/2-23/5

$$4 \frac { 2 } { 2 } - 2 \frac { 3 } { 5 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{12}{5}=2.4$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

$$\frac{8+2}{2}-\frac{2\times 5+3}{5}$$

Add 8 and 2 to get 10.

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

Divide 10 by 2 to get 5.

$$5-\frac{2\times 5+3}{5}$$

Multiply 2 and 5 to get 10.

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

Add 10 and 3 to get 13.

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

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{25}{5}.

$$\frac{25}{5}-\frac{13}{5}$$

Since \frac{25}{5} and \frac{13}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{25-13}{5}$$

Subtract 13 from 25 to get 12.

$$\frac{12}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3}{5} = 2\frac{2}{5} = 2.4$$
