   25    25     50

Step  4  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 4.1       Adding fractions which 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 - (1)      8
 ———————  =  ——
   25        25

Equation at the end of step  4  :

   8     7
  —— -  ——
  25    50

Step  5  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

 5.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

      The left denominator is :       25 

      The right denominator is :       50 

      Least Common Multiple:
      50 

Calculating Multipliers :

 5.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions


    Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M 
    Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M 
    Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno 

   Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 2

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 1

Making Equivalent Fractions :

 5.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

   L. Mult. • L. Num.      8 • 2
   ——————————————————  =   —————
         L.C.M              50  

   R. Mult. • R. Num.       7
   ——————————————————  =   ——
         L.C.M             50

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 5.4       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:

 8 • 2 - (7)      9
 ———————————  =  ——
     50          50

Final result :

   9           
  —— = 0.18000
