Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.98" was replaced by "(98/100)".

Step  1  :

            49
 Simplify   ——
            50

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        49
  24 -  ——
        50

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  50  as the denominator :

           24     24 • 50
     24 =  ——  =  ———————
           1        50   

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:

 24 • 50 - (49)     1151
 ——————————————  =  ————
       50            50 

Final result :

  1151            
  ———— = 23.02000 
   50
