Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

            35
 Simplify   ——
            6 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        81     35
  (0 -  ——) +  ——
        9      6 

Step  2  :

            9
 Simplify   —
            1

Equation at the end of step  2  :

              35
  (0 -  9) +  ——
              6 

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

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

           -9     -9 • 6
     -9 =  ——  =  ——————
           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 :

 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:

 -9 • 6 + 35     -19
 ———————————  =  ———
      6           6 

Final result :

  -19            
  ——— = -3.16667
