Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "22.55" was replaced by "(2255/100)".

Step  1  :

            451
 Simplify   ———
            20 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   451           
  (——— -  10) -  5
   20            

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  20  as the denominator :

          10     10 • 20
    10 =  ——  =  ———————
          1        20   

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:

 451 - (10 • 20)     251
 ———————————————  =  ———
       20            20 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  251    
  ——— -  5
  20     

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  20  as the denominator :

         5     5 • 20
    5 =  —  =  ——————
         1       20  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

 251 - (5 • 20)     151
 ——————————————  =  ———
       20           20 

Final result :

  151           
  ——— = 7.55000 
  20
