Step 4 :
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
4.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
62 - (7) 11
———————— = ——
5 1
Equation at the end of step 4 :
11 37
—— - ——
1 10
Step 5 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
5.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 10 as the denominator :
11 11 • 10
11 = —— = ———————
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 :
5.2 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 • 10 - (37) 73
—————————————— = ——
10 10
Final result :
73
—— = 7.30000
