Solve 5*16/100+(16/10)-9=

$$5 \cdot \frac { 16 } { 100 } + ( \frac { 16 } { 10 } ) - 9 =$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{33}{5}=-6.6$$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction \frac{16}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$5\times \frac{4}{25}+\frac{16}{10}-9$$

Express 5\times \frac{4}{25} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{5\times 4}{25}+\frac{16}{10}-9$$

Multiply 5 and 4 to get 20.

$$\frac{20}{25}+\frac{16}{10}-9$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{25} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$\frac{4}{5}+\frac{16}{10}-9$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{16}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{4}{5}+\frac{8}{5}-9$$

Since \frac{4}{5} and \frac{8}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{4+8}{5}-9$$

Add 4 and 8 to get 12.

$$\frac{12}{5}-9$$

Convert 9 to fraction \frac{45}{5}.

$$\frac{12}{5}-\frac{45}{5}$$

Since \frac{12}{5} and \frac{45}{5} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{12-45}{5}$$

Subtract 45 from 12 to get -33.

$$-\frac{33}{5}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{33}{5} = -6\frac{3}{5} = -6.6$$
