Solve 43/10-37/10=

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{5}=0.6$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and 10 to get 40.

$$\frac{40+3}{10}-\frac{3\times 10+7}{10}$$

Add 40 and 3 to get 43.

$$\frac{43}{10}-\frac{3\times 10+7}{10}$$

Multiply 3 and 10 to get 30.

$$\frac{43}{10}-\frac{30+7}{10}$$

Add 30 and 7 to get 37.

$$\frac{43}{10}-\frac{37}{10}$$

Since \frac{43}{10} and \frac{37}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{43-37}{10}$$

Subtract 37 from 43 to get 6.

$$\frac{6}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{3}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{5} = 0.6$$
