Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.3" was replaced by "(3/10)".

Step  1  :

             3
 Simplify   ——
            10

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   3    
  —— -  1
  10    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  10  as the denominator :

         1     1 • 10
    1 =  —  =  ——————
         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 :

 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:

 3 - (10)     -7
 ————————  =  ——
    10        10

Final result :

  -7            
  —— = -0.70000 
  10
