Question

write an expression for the calculation divide 10 in half and subtract from 50​ divided into fifths.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{50}{5} - \frac{10}{1/2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

• a: Divide 10 in half
• b: 50​ divided into fifths.

Required

An expression for $b - a$

a: Divide 10 in half

This implies that:

$a = \frac{10}{1/2}$

b: 50​ divided into fifths

This implies that

$b = \frac{50}{5}$

So, we have:

$b - a =$

$\frac{50}{5} - \frac{10}{1/2}$
