Question

$$2\frac{1}{5}-5$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{14}{5}=-2.8$

Solution Steps

Multiply $2$ and $5$ to get $10$.

$$\frac{10+1}{5}-5$$

Add $10$ and $1$ to get $11$.

$$\frac{11}{5}-5$$

Convert $5$ to fraction $\frac{25}{5}$.

$$\frac{11}{5}-\frac{25}{5}$$

Since $\frac{11}{5}$ and $\frac{25}{5}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{11-25}{5}$$

Subtract $25$ from $11$ to get $-14$.

$$-\frac{14}{5}$$
