Question

Solve and choose the correct option.
$\frac{2}{10}\mathrm{and}\frac{3}{10}$ are added together and subtracted from $\frac{17}{10}$. The result obtained is further subtracted from $\frac{19}{10}$. What is the final answer?

• A. $\frac{9}{10}$
• B. $\frac{8}{10}$
• C. $\frac{7}{10}$
• D. $\frac{11}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{7}{10}$

$\frac{2}{10}+\frac{3}{10}=\frac{2+3}{10}=\frac{5}{10}\frac{17}{10}-\frac{5}{10}=\frac{12}{10}\frac{19}{10}-\frac{12}{10}=\frac{7}{10}$
