Given expression:

  • 0.8 - 0.6

To simplify the expression as a fraction in simplest form, let us multiply both terms by 10. Then, both terms must also be divided by 10.

   \implies \dfrac{[10(0.8) - 10(0.6)]}{10}

   \implies \dfrac{[8 - 6]}{10}

   \implies \dfrac{[2]}{10} = \dfrac{2}{10}

When 2/10 is simplified in lowest terms, we get;

   \implies \dfrac{2}{10} \implies \dfrac{1 \times 2}{5 \times 2} \implies \dfrac{1}{5}

Therefore, 0.8 - 0.6 in fraction form is 1/5.

A music website charges x dollars for individual songs and y dollars for an entire album. Person A pays $25.92 to download 6 ind
EleoNora [17]
Amount charged for downloading individual songs = x dollars
Amount charged for downloading an entire song album = y dollars
Person A:
6x + 2y = 25.92
3x + y = 12.96
y = 12.96 - 3x
Person B:
4x + 3y = 33.93
Putting the value of y from the first equation in the second we get
x = 0.99 dollars
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
y = 12.96 - 3x
= 12.96 - 2.97
= 9.99 dollars
