The correct Answer is:
To evaluate \( 2.\overline{5} - 0.\overline{35} \), we first need to understand what these repeating decimals mean. ### Step 1: Convert \( 2.\overline{5} \) to a fraction Let \( x = 2.\overline{5} \). To eliminate the repeating decimal, we can multiply \( x \) by 10: \[ 10x = 25.\overline{5} \] Now, we subtract the original \( x \) from this equation: \[ 10x - x = 25.\overline{5} - 2.\overline{5} \] \[ 9x = 25 - 2 \] \[ 9x = 23 \] \[ x = \frac{23}{9} \] ### Step 2: Convert \( 0.\overline{35} \) to a fraction Let \( y = 0.\overline{35} \). Again, multiply \( y \) by 100 to eliminate the repeating decimal: \[ 100y = 35.\overline{35} \] Now, subtract the original \( y \): \[ 100y - y = 35.\overline{35} - 0.\overline{35} \] \[ 99y = 35 \] \[ y = \frac{35}{99} \] ### Step 3: Subtract the two fractions Now we need to evaluate \( \frac{23}{9} - \frac{35}{99} \). To subtract these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 9 and 99 is 99. Convert \( \frac{23}{9} \) to have a denominator of 99: \[ \frac{23}{9} = \frac{23 \times 11}{9 \times 11} = \frac{253}{99} \] Now we can subtract: \[ \frac{253}{99} - \frac{35}{99} = \frac{253 - 35}{99} = \frac{218}{99} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the fraction if possible Now we check if \( \frac{218}{99} \) can be simplified. The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 218 and 99 is 1, so this fraction is already in its simplest form. Thus, the final answer is: \[ \frac{218}{99} \]
