400-1/5-1/4-9/30

Solution

400 - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{9}{30}

Solution

399 \frac{1}{4}

Decimal

399.25

Solution steps

400 - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{9}{30}

\frac{9}{30} = \frac{3}{10}

Cancel the common factor:

3

\frac{3}{10}

= 400 - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{10}

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations

Add and subtract (left to right)

400 - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{10} : \frac{1597}{4}

400 - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{10}

400 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1999}{5}

400 - \frac{1}{5}

Convert element to fraction:

400 = \frac{400 \cdot 5}{5}

= \frac{400 \cdot 5}{5} - \frac{1}{5}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{400 \cdot 5 - 1}{5}

400 \cdot 5 - 1 = 1999

400 \cdot 5 - 1

Multiply the numbers:

400 \cdot 5 = 2000

= 2000 - 1

Subtract the numbers:

2000 - 1 = 1999

= 1999

= \frac{1999}{5}

= \frac{1999}{5} - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{3}{10}

\frac{1999}{5} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7991}{20}

\frac{1999}{5} - \frac{1}{4}

For

\frac{1999}{5} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

4

\frac{1999}{5} = \frac{1999 \cdot 4}{5 \cdot 4} = \frac{7996}{20}

For

\frac{1}{4} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

5

\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \cdot 5}{4 \cdot 5} = \frac{5}{20}

= \frac{7996}{20} - \frac{5}{20}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{7996 - 5}{20}

Subtract the numbers:

7996 - 5 = 7991

= \frac{7991}{20}

= \frac{7991}{20} - \frac{3}{10}

\frac{7991}{20} - \frac{3}{10} = \frac{1597}{4}

\frac{7991}{20} - \frac{3}{10}

For

\frac{3}{10} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{3}{10} = \frac{3 \cdot 2}{10 \cdot 2} = \frac{6}{20}

= \frac{7991}{20} - \frac{6}{20}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

\frac{a}{c} \pm \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a \pm b}{c}

= \frac{7991 - 6}{20}

Subtract the numbers:

7991 - 6 = 7985

= \frac{7985}{20}

Cancel the common factor:

5

= \frac{1597}{4}

= \frac{1597}{4}

= \frac{1597}{4}

Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers:

\frac{1597}{4} = 399 \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1597}{4} = 399
