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:
74 - (4) 14
———————— = ——
5 1
Equation at the end of step 4 :
14 17
—— - ——
1 5
Step 5 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
5.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :
14 14 • 5
14 = —— = ——————
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 :
5.2 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:
14 • 5 - (17) 53
————————————— = ——
5 5
Final result :
53
—— = 10.60000
