Question

$$1/6-0.1$$

$\frac{1}{15}\approx 0.066666667$

Convert decimal number $0.1$ to fraction $\frac{1}{10}$.

$$\frac{1}{6}-\frac{1}{10}$$

Least common multiple of $6$ and $10$ is $30$. Convert $\frac{1}{6}$ and $\frac{1}{10}$ to fractions with denominator $30$.

$$\frac{5}{30}-\frac{3}{30}$$

Since $\frac{5}{30}$ and $\frac{3}{30}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{5-3}{30}$$

Subtract $3$ from $5$ to get $2$.

$$\frac{2}{30}$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{2}{30}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{1}{15}$$

$\frac{1}{3 \cdot 5} = 0.06666666666666667$
