Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms
Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "9.3" was replaced by "(93/10)".
Step 1 :
93
Simplify ——
10
Equation at the end of step 1 :
93
(—— - 4) - 2
10
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 10 as the denominator :
4 4 • 10
4 = — = ——————
1 10
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:
93 - (4 • 10) 53
————————————— = ——
10 10
Equation at the end of step 2 :
53
—— - 2
10
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 10 as the denominator :
2 2 • 10
2 = — = ——————
1 10
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
53 - (2 • 10) 33
————————————— = ——
10 10
Final result :
33
—— = 3.30000
10
