5 4/10 – 2 =
To solve the problem (5 frac{4}{10} – 2), follow these steps:
1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:
[
5 frac{4}{10} = frac{(5 times 10) + 4}{10} = frac{50 + 4}{10} = frac{54}{10}
]
2. Convert the whole number 2 into a fraction:
[
2 = frac{2 times 10}{10} = frac{20}{10}
]
3. Subtract the two fractions:
[
frac{54}{10} – frac{20}{10} = frac{54 – 20}{10} = frac{34}{10}
]
4. Simplify the fraction:
[
frac{34}{10} = frac{17}{5}
]
5. Convert to a mixed number (if desired):
[
frac{17}{5} = 3 frac{2}{5}
]
So, the final answer is (3 frac{2}{5}) or (frac{17}{5}) as an improper fraction.
