Solution - Adding, subtracting and finding the least common multiple

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.2" was replaced by "(2/10)". 2 more similar replacement(s)

Step  1  :

            1
 Simplify   —
            5

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   46    1     
  (—— -  —) -  1
   10    5     

Step  2  :

            23
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

   23    1     
  (—— -  —) -  1
   5     5     

Step  3  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 3.1       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:

 23 - (1)     22
 ————————  =  ——
    5         5 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  22    
  —— -  1
  5     

Step  4  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 4.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

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

         1     1 • 5
    1 =  —  =  —————
         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 :

 4.2       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:

 22 - (5)     17
 ————————  =  ——
    5         5 

Final result :

  17           
  —— = 3.40000 
  5
