For this case, the first thing we must do is rewrite the given expression.
We must take into account the following numerical factor.
[tex] tenths = 0.1
[/tex]
Therefore, we have:
[tex] 16 tenths = 16 (0.1)
16 tenths = 1.6
[/tex]
So, rewriting the given expression we have:
[tex] 5 - 1.6 = 3.4
[/tex]
Answer:
The result of 5-16 tenths is:
[tex] 3.4 [/tex]
