Question

$$45 \div 520 \times 4-2$$

$-\frac{43}{26}\approx -1.653846154$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{45}{520}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $5$.

$$\frac{9}{104}\times 4-2$$

Express $\frac{9}{104}\times 4$ as a single fraction.

$$\frac{9\times 4}{104}-2$$

Multiply $9$ and $4$ to get $36$.

$$\frac{36}{104}-2$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{36}{104}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $4$.

$$\frac{9}{26}-2$$

Convert $2$ to fraction $\frac{52}{26}$.

$$\frac{9}{26}-\frac{52}{26}$$

Since $\frac{9}{26}$ and $\frac{52}{26}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{9-52}{26}$$

Subtract $52$ from $9$ to get $-43$.

$$-\frac{43}{26}$$

$-\frac{43}{26} = -1\frac{17}{26} = -1.6538461538461537$
