Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :
53 53 • 5
53 = —— = ——————
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 :
3.2 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:
53 • 5 - (9) 256
———————————— = ———
5 5
Equation at the end of step 3 :
256 4
——— - —

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:
256 - (4) 252
————————— = ———
5 5
Final result :
252
——— = 50.40000
