Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

            11
 Simplify   ——
            2 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        11     
  (0 -  ——) +  2
        2      

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

         2     2 • 2
    2 =  —  =  —————
         1       2  

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 :

 2.2       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:

 -11 + 2 • 2     -7
 ———————————  =  ——
      2          2 

Final result :

  -7            
  —— = -3.50000
