Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "967.5" was replaced by "(9675/10)".

Step  1  :

            1935
 Simplify   ————
             2  

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  1935    
  ———— -  450
   2      

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

           450     450 • 2
    450 =  ———  =  ———————
            1         2   

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:

 1935 - (450 • 2)     1035
 ————————————————  =  ————
        2              2  

Final result :

  1035             
  ———— = 517.50000
