Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

             1
 Simplify   ——
            12

Equation at the end of step  1  :

               1      
  (14 • (0 -  ——)) -  1
              12      

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  6  as the denominator :

         1     1 • 6
    1 =  —  =  —————
         1       6  

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:

 -7 - (6)     -13
 ————————  =  ———
    6          6 

Final result :

  -13            
  ——— = -2.16667 
   6
