Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.75" was replaced by "(75/100)".

Step  1  :

            3
 Simplify   —
            4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       3
  1 -  —
       4

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

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

          1     1 • 4
     1 =  —  =  —————
          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 :

 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 - (3)     1
 ———————  =  —
    4        4

Final result :

  1           
  — = 0.25000 
  4
