To solve the expression 5 35 − 4 1/5, we need to convert the mixed number 5 35 to an improper fraction.
5 35 is equivalent to (5*5 + 35)/5 = (25+35)/5 = 60/5.
Now we can substitute this back into the expression:
60/5 - 4 1/5
To subtract mixed numbers, we subtract the whole numbers and the fractions separately.
The whole numbers subtract to 60/5 - 4 = 60/5 - (4*5)/5 = 60/5 - 20/5 = (60-20)/5 = 40/5 = 8.
The fractions subtract to 8 - 1/5 = (8*5 - 1)/5 = 39/5.
So, the result is 39/5 or 8 4/5.
