Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "0.95" was replaced by "(95/100)".
Step 1 :
19
Simplify ——
20
Equation at the end of step 1 :
19
1 - ——
20
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 20 as the denominator :
1 1 • 20
1 = — = ——————
1 20
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:
20 - (19) 1
————————— = ——
20 20
Final result :
1
—— = 0.05000
