Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.3" was replaced by "(3/10)". 2 more similar replacement(s)

Step  1  :

             3
 Simplify   ——
            10

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  480     3
  ——— -  ——
   1     10

Step  2  :

            480
 Simplify   ———
             1 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

          3
  480 -  ——
         10

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  10  as the denominator :

            480     480 • 10
     480 =  ———  =  ————————
             1         10   

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 480 • 10 - (3)     4797
 ——————————————  =  ————
       10            10 

Final result :

  4797             
  ———— = 479.70000 
   10
