Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.25" was replaced by "(25/100)".

Step  1  :

            3
 Simplify   —
            4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

              25      3
  (0 -  (8 • ———)) -  —
             100      4

Step  2  :

            1
 Simplify   —
            4

Equation at the end of step  2  :

             1      3
  (0 -  (8 • —)) -  —
             4      4

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

           -2     -2 • 4
     -2 =  ——  =  ——————
           1        4   

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:

 -2 • 4 - (3)     -11
 ————————————  =  ———
      4            4 

Final result :

  -11            
  ——— = -2.75000
