Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

            11
 Simplify   ——
            15

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       11
  5 -  ——
       15

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  15  as the denominator :

          5     5 • 15
     5 =  —  =  ——————
          1       15  

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:

 5 • 15 - (11)     64
 —————————————  =  ——
      15           15

Final result :

  64           
  —— = 4.26667 
  15
