Example Question #2 : Decimals

Simplify:

$0.35+\frac{0.75}{0.2}-0.4*\frac{0.5}{0.1}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{30}{7}$

$\frac{25}{4}$

$\frac{213}{10}$

$\frac{21}{10}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{21}{10}$

Explanation:

Begin by multiplying all of your decimal fractions by $\frac{100}{100}$ :

$0.35+\frac{0.75}{0.2}*\frac{100}{100}-0.4*\frac{0.5}{0.1}*\frac{100}{100}$

Simplify:

$0.35+\frac{75}{20}-0.4*\frac{50}{10}=0.35+\frac{15}{4}-0.4*5$

Now perform the multiplication:

$0.35+\frac{15}{4}-2$

The easiest thing to do next is to subtract from 0.35 :

$0.35+\frac{15}{4}-2=\frac{15}{4}-1.65$

Next, convert 1.65 into the fraction $\frac{165}{100}$ :

$\frac{15}{4}-\frac{165}{100}$

Now, the common denominator can be 100 :

$\frac{15}{4}*\frac{25}{25}-\frac{165}{100}=\frac{375}{100}-\frac{165}{100}$

Simplify:

$\frac{375}{100}-\frac{165}{100}=\frac{210}{100}=\frac{21}{10}$
