Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "4.4" was replaced by "(44/10)".

Step  1  :

            22
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        22
  11 -  ——
        5 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

           11     11 • 5
     11 =  ——  =  ——————
           1        5   

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:

 11 • 5 - (22)     33
 —————————————  =  ——
       5           5 

Final result :

  33           
  —— = 6.60000 
  5
