Question

$$10 - \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{19}{2}=9.5$

Solution Steps

Convert $10$ to fraction $\frac{20}{2}$.

$$\frac{20}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Since $\frac{20}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{20-1}{2}$$

Subtract $1$ from $20$ to get $19$.

$$\frac{19}{2}$$

Factor

$\frac{19}{2} = 9\frac{1}{2} = 9.5$
