Solve 7/10%C2%A0−%C2%A04/10 and express your answer as a fraction.(1 point)
To solve this expression, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. In this case, the common denominator is 10.
Therefore, we can rewrite the expression as:
(7/10%) - (4/10)
Since 10% is equivalent to 10/100, we can simplify further:
(7/10)/(10/100) - (4/10)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(7/10) * (100/10) - (4/10)
Simplifying, we get:
(7 * 100) / (10 * 10) - (4/10)
Multiplying the numerators and denominators, we have:
700/100 - 4/10
Next, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions. In this case, the common denominator is 100:
(700 - (4 * 10))/100
Simplifying further:
(700 - 40)/100
The numerator becomes:
660/100
And finally, we can express the answer as a fraction:
660/100 = 33/5

Apologies for the mistake. Let's try solving the expression correctly.
To solve 7/10% - 4/10, we need to convert both fractions to have the same denominator.
10% is equivalent to 10/100 or simply 1/10.
So, the expression becomes (7/10) - (4/10).
Now, we can subtract the numerators and keep the common denominator:
(7 - 4)/10 = 3/10.
Therefore, the solution to 7/10% - 4/10 is 3/10.
