Math Problem Statement

5/4+3/5-9/10=

Solution

To solve the expression 54+35910\frac{5}{4} + \frac{3}{5} - \frac{9}{10}, follow these steps:

  1. Find a common denominator: The denominators are 4, 5, and 10. The least common denominator (LCD) is 20.

  2. Convert each fraction to have the denominator of 20: 54=5×54×5=2520\frac{5}{4} = \frac{5 \times 5}{4 \times 5} = \frac{25}{20} 35=3×45×4=1220\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 4}{5 \times 4} = \frac{12}{20} 910=9×210×2=1820\frac{9}{10} = \frac{9 \times 2}{10 \times 2} = \frac{18}{20}

  3. Add and subtract the fractions: 2520+12201820=25+121820=1920\frac{25}{20} + \frac{12}{20} - \frac{18}{20} = \frac{25 + 12 - 18}{20} = \frac{19}{20}

The result of the expression is: 1920\frac{19}{20}
