Step 3 :
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
3.1 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:
78 - (6) 72
———————— = ——
5 5
Equation at the end of step 3 :
72
—— - 4

Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :
4 4 • 5
4 = — = —————
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 :
4.2 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:
72 - (4 • 5) 52
———————————— = ——
5 5
Final result :
52
—— = 10.40000
