Step  1  :

            24
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         24     24
  (12 -  ——) -  ——
         10     5 

Step  2  :

            12
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

         12     24
  (12 -  ——) -  ——
         5      5 

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

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

           12     12 • 5
     12 =  ——  =  ——————
           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 :

 3.2       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:

 12 • 5 - (12)     48
 —————————————  =  ——
       5           5 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  48    24
  —— -  ——
  5     5 

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:

 48 - (24)     24
 —————————  =  ——
     5         5 

Final result :

  24           
  —— = 4.80000
