Chapter 1: Problem 33

Perform the indicated subtraction. $$-\frac{4}{5}-\left(-\frac{1}{5}\right)$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The solution to the subtraction problem -4/5 - (- 1/5) is -3/5.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the Given Numbers

The two fractions given are -4/5 and -1/5. They have to be subtracted considering the order and signs.
02

Deal with Parenthesis and Negatives

The fraction -1/5 is within parentheses, and there's a subtraction sign in front of it. This changes the sign. So, -((-1/5)) becomes positive 1/5.
03

Perform the Subtraction

Now subtract the two fractions. Keep the denominator same and subtract the numerators. It becomes, -4/5 + 1/5 = (-4 + 1) / 5 = -3/5.
