Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "4.8" was replaced by "(48/10)".

Step  1  :

            24
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         24
  550 -  ——
         5 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

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

            550     550 • 5
     550 =  ———  =  ———————
             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 :

 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:

 550 • 5 - (24)     2726
 ——————————————  =  ————
       5             5  

Final result :

  2726             
  ———— = 545.20000
