Solved Example

Q. Evaluate the expression.\newline45×1215\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{5}\newlineWrite your answer in simplest form.
Solution:
  1. Given expression: \newline45×1215\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{5}
  2. Multiply fractions: Multiply 45 \frac{4}{5} by 12 \frac{1}{2} .\newline 45×12=4×15×2=410 \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4 \times 1}{5 \times 2} = \frac{4}{10}
  3. Simplify result: Simplify 410 \frac{4}{10} . \newline410=25 \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}
  4. Subtract fractions: Subtract 15 \frac{1}{5} from 25 \frac{2}{5} . \newline2515=215=15 \frac{2}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2 - 1}{5} = \frac{1}{5}
