Question

$$\frac { 2 } { 5 } - 4$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{18}{5}=-3.6$

Solution Steps

Convert $4$ to fraction $\frac{20}{5}$.

$$\frac{2}{5}-\frac{20}{5}$$

Since $\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{20}{5}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{2-20}{5}$$

Subtract $20$ from $2$ to get $-18$.

$$-\frac{18}{5}$$

Show Solution

Factor

$-\frac{18}{5} = -3\frac{3}{5} = -3.6$
