Question

Evaluate.

Answer 1

9/10 - 2/5 + 1/3

= 5/6 (Decimal:  0.8333333)


Subtract:
9/10 - 2/5 = 9/10 - 2 . 2/5 . 2
= 9/10 - 4/10 
= 9 - 4/10 
= 5/10 
= 1/2

The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators LCM ( 10, 5) = 10


Add: 1/2 + 1/3 = 1 . 3/2 . 3 + 1 . 2/3 . 2 
= 3/6 + 2/6 
= 3 + 2/6 

= 5/6



The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators LCM ( 2, 3) = 6

Answer in Lowest term is:  5/6 or Decimal:  0.8333333
