?/5 - 1/2 = 3/10

1 answer

To solve this equation, we need to subtract a fraction from another fraction.

We have:
?- 5 - 1/2 = 3/10

To subtract fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator in this case is 10.

So, we rewrite the equation with the common denominator:
?- 10/10 - 5/10 = 3/10

Simplifying the fractions on the left side:
?- 5/10 - 5/10 = 3/10

Now, we can subtract the fractions on the left side:
?- (5 - 5)/10 = 3/10

Simplifying the numerator on the left side:
?- 0/10 = 3/10

Since the numerator on the left side is 0, the equation becomes:
?- 0 = 3/10

However, 0 is not equal to 3/10. So, the equation is not true.

Therefore, the equation ?/5 - 1/2 = 3/10 is false.
