To solve the expression \(10/1 - 6 \frac{2}{5}\), you can first convert the mixed number \(6 \frac{2}{5}\) into an improper fraction. 1. Convert \(6 \frac{2}{5}\): \[ 6 \frac{2}{5} = 6 + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{30}{5} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{32}{5} \] 2. Now subtract \(6 \frac{2}{5}\) from \(10\): \[ 10 - \frac{32}{5} \] 3. Convert \(10\) into a fraction with a denominator of 5: \[ 10 = \frac{50}{5} \] 4. Now perform the subtraction: \[ \frac{50}{5} - \frac{32}{5} = \frac{50 - 32}{5} = \frac{18}{5} \] 5. Convert back to a mixed number if needed: \[ \frac{18}{5} = 3 \frac{3}{5} \] Thus, the result of \(10/1 - 6 \frac{2}{5}\) is \(\frac{18}{5}\) or \(3 \frac{3}{5}\).
