Solve 93/10-57/10=

$$9 \frac { 3 } { 10 } - 5 \frac { 7 } { 10 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{18}{5}=3.6$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 9 and 10 to get 90.

$$\frac{90+3}{10}-\frac{5\times 10+7}{10}$$

Add 90 and 3 to get 93.

$$\frac{93}{10}-\frac{5\times 10+7}{10}$$

Multiply 5 and 10 to get 50.

$$\frac{93}{10}-\frac{50+7}{10}$$

Add 50 and 7 to get 57.

$$\frac{93}{10}-\frac{57}{10}$$

Since \frac{93}{10} and \frac{57}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{93-57}{10}$$

Subtract 57 from 93 to get 36.

$$\frac{36}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{36}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{18}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 \cdot 3 ^ {2}}{5} = 3\frac{3}{5} = 3.6$$
