Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.1" was replaced by "(1/10)".

Step  1  :

             1
 Simplify   ——
            10

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         1
  23 -  ——
        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 :

           23     23 • 10
     23 =  ——  =  ———————
           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:

 23 • 10 - (1)     229
 —————————————  =  ———
      10           10 

Final result :

  229            
  ——— = 22.90000 
  10
