Step  1  :

            2
 Simplify   —
            5

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   44    24     2
  (—— -  ——) -  —
   10    10     5

Step  2  :

            12
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

   44    12     2
  (—— -  ——) -  —
   10    5      5

Step  3  :

            22
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

   22    12     2
  (—— -  ——) -  —
   5     5      5

Step  4  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 4.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 22 - (12)     2
 —————————  =  —
     5         1

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  2    2
  — -  —
  1    5

Step  5  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 5.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

          2     2 • 5
     2 =  —  =  —————
          1       5  

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 :

 5.2       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:

 2 • 5 - (2)     8
 ———————————  =  —
      5          5

Final result :

  8           
  — = 1.60000
