Question

if the product of four tenths and six tenths is subtracted from the sun of four tenths and six tenths what is the difference

Answer 1

Answer:

$\dfrac{19}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(\dfrac{4}{10}+\dfrac{6}{10}\right)-\left(\dfrac{4}{10} \times \dfrac{6}{10}\right)$

$=\left(\dfrac{10}{10}\right)-\left(\dfrac{24}{100} \right)$

$=\left(\dfrac{100}{100}\right)-\left(\dfrac{24}{100} \right)$

$=\dfrac{76}{100}$

$=\dfrac{19}{25}$

Answer 2

Solution:

Note that:

• Given expression: (4/10 + 6/10) - (4/10 x 6/10)

Simplify the expression:

• (4/10 + 6/10) - (4/10 x 6/10)
• => (10/10) - (24/100)
• => 100/100 - 24/100
• => 76/100

Simplify the fraction:

• 76/100 = 19/25

19/25 is the difference.
