Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.7" was replaced by "(7/10)".

Step  1  :

             7
 Simplify   ——
            10

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         7
  21 -  ——
        10

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  10  as the denominator :

           21     21 • 10
     21 =  ——  =  ———————
           1        10   

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:

 21 • 10 - (7)     203
 —————————————  =  ———
      10           10 

Final result :

  203            
  ——— = 20.30000 
  10
