            5 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

   14    9     4
  (—— -  —) -  —
   5     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:

 14 - (9)     1
 ————————  =  —
    5         1

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  1    4
  — -  —
  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 :

          1     1 • 5
     1 =  —  =  —————
          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:

 5 - (4)     1
 ———————  =  —
    5        5

Final result :

  1           
  — = 0.20000
