math algebra

Hello, JAYLIN BYNUM!

\(\displaystyle \text{What is }\:9\!\tfrac{1}{10} - 2\!\tfrac{3}{10}\: ?\)

We have: .\(\displaystyle 9\!\frac{1}{10} - 2\!\frac{3}{10} \;=\; \dfrac{91}{10} - \dfrac{23}{10} \;=\;\dfrac{68}{10} \;=\;\dfrac{34}{5} \;=\;6\!\frac{4}{5}\)
 
and it helps to think about meaning. if you have 9 dollars and 10 cents and spend 2 dollars and 30 cents, what do you have left?
