Question

$$\frac { 3 } { 5 } - \frac { 6 } { 15 } - \frac { 1 } { 10 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{1}{10}=0.1$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction $\frac{6}{15}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $3$.

$$\frac{3}{5}-\frac{2}{5}-\frac{1}{10}$$

Since $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{2}{5}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{3-2}{5}-\frac{1}{10}$$

Subtract $2$ from $3$ to get $1$.

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

Least common multiple of $5$ and $10$ is $10$. Convert $\frac{1}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{10}$ to fractions with denominator $10$.

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

Since $\frac{2}{10}$ and $\frac{1}{10}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract $1$ from $2$ to get $1$.

$$\frac{1}{10}$$

Factor

$\frac{1}{2 \cdot 5} = 0.1$
