Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "15.375" was replaced by "(15375/1000)".
Step 1 :
123
Simplify ———
8
Equation at the end of step 1 :
123
20 - ———
8
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 8 as the denominator :
20 20 • 8
20 = —— = ——————
1 8
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:
20 • 8 - (123) 37
—————————————— = ——
8 8
Final result :
37
—— = 4.62500
8
