Question

what is the value of the expression? 4(6/10−1/5)+0.4 enter your answer, in simplest form, in the box.

Answer 1

The answer would be 2

Explanation:

6/10 - 1/5 = 2/5

4 x 2/5 = 8/5

8/5 + 0.4 = 2

Answer 2

Answer: 2.0

Explanation:

The given expression :
`4((6)/(10)-(1)/(5))+0.4`

To solve the given expression , we need to follow BODMAS (Bracket→ Of Divide→ Multiplication →Add →Subtract).

According to BODMAS , first we simplified the expression present inside the brackets .

`4((6-2(1))/(10))+0.4` [10= LCM[10,5]]

`=4((6-2)/(10))+0.4`

`=4((4)/(10))+0.4`

`=((4*4)/(10))+0.4` [Multiply]

`=((16)/(10))+0.4` [Simplify]

`=1.6+0.4=2.0` [Add]

Hence, the value of the expression in the simplified form = 2.0
