Solve this number sentence: 2-4/5 x 1/2 = *simplify answer*

1. 1 2/8
2. 7/2
3. 1 2/5

The given number sentence is simplified as 1 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number sentence is 2-4/5 x 1/2

Here, based on that above rule, the multiplication must be done in the first step and then subtraction should be done in the next step.

⇒ 2 - 4/5 × 1/2

⇒ 2 - 4/10

⇒ 2 - 2/5

Therefore, the given expression is reduced to 2- 2/5

cross multiply the denominator 5

⇒ (10-2) / 5

⇒ 8/5

Now, the expression is reduced to single term 8/5.

To further reduce the term, divide 8 by 5.
