Let's compute the value step by step:
Given expression: 0.8 - 2/3 + 1/5
First, convert 0.8 to a fraction:
0.8 = 8/10 = 4/5
Now, rewrite the entire expression with fractions: 4/5 - 2/3 + 1/5
Find a common denominator for the fractions. The denominators are 5 and 3; the least common denominator (LCD) is 15.
Convert each fraction:
- 4/5 = (4 × 3) / (5 × 3) = 12/15
- 2/3 = (2 × 5) / (3 × 5) = 10/15
- 1/5 = (1 × 3) / (5 × 3) = 3/15
Now, combine the fractions: (12/15) - (10/15) + (3/15) = (12 - 10 + 3)/15 = (5)/15
Simplify: 5/15 = 1/3
Final answer:
\[ \boxed{\frac{1}{3}} \]
