Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the expression: (1/4) × 0.25 + 0.75 - 0.3125

Solution

The expression to evaluate is:

14×0.25+0.750.3125\frac{1}{4} \times 0.25 + 0.75 - 0.3125

Let's break this down step by step:

  1. First, evaluate 14×0.25\frac{1}{4} \times 0.25: 14×0.25=0.0625\frac{1}{4} \times 0.25 = 0.0625

  2. Now substitute this into the expression: 0.0625+0.750.31250.0625 + 0.75 - 0.3125

  3. Add 0.06250.0625 and 0.750.75: 0.0625+0.75=0.81250.0625 + 0.75 = 0.8125

  4. Finally, subtract 0.31250.3125 from 0.81250.8125: 0.81250.3125=0.50.8125 - 0.3125 = 0.5

Thus, the value of the expression is:

0.5\boxed{0.5}
