Question

$$2- \frac{ 3 }{ 5 } +4.7$$

Evaluate

$6.1$

Solution Steps

Convert $2$ to fraction $\frac{10}{5}$.

$$\frac{10}{5}-\frac{3}{5}+4.7$$

Since $\frac{10}{5}$ and $\frac{3}{5}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{10-3}{5}+4.7$$

Subtract $3$ from $10$ to get $7$.

$$\frac{7}{5}+4.7$$

Convert decimal number $4.7$ to fraction $\frac{47}{10}$.

$$\frac{7}{5}+\frac{47}{10}$$

Least common multiple of $5$ and $10$ is $10$. Convert $\frac{7}{5}$ and $\frac{47}{10}$ to fractions with denominator $10$.

$$\frac{14}{10}+\frac{47}{10}$$

Since $\frac{14}{10}$ and $\frac{47}{10}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{14+47}{10}$$

Add $14$ and $47$ to get $61$.

$$\frac{61}{10}$$
