Since m= 3, substitute 3 for me.

Proceed to answer question as following:
Step one:
Substitute
2/5(3) - 1/3
Step two:
Multiple 2/5 by 3
Giving:
Exact form: 6/5
Decimal form: 1.2
Mixed number form: 1 1/5
Step three:
Choose which from to use
*note*
No matter which form you use, answer will always be the same.
I’ll use decimal form:
1.2 - 1/3 *this can be converted to decimal form as well*
E.g. 1.2 - 0.3
Answer:
0.9
Fraction form: 9/10

Hopes this helps <3
