Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

            4
 Simplify   —
            9

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        4     
  (0 -  —) -  6
        9     

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  9  as the denominator :

         6     6 • 9
    6 =  —  =  —————
         1       9  

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:

 -4 - (6 • 9)     -58
 ————————————  =  ———
      9            9 

Final result :

  -58            
  ——— = -6.44444 
   9
