—— = 3.33333
3
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
1
(— • 22) - 22
3
Step 2 :
1
Simplify —
3
Equation at the end of step 2 :
1
(— • 22) - 22
3
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :
22 22 • 3
22 = —— = ——————
1 3
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:
22 - (22 • 3) 10
————————————— = ——
3 3
Final result :
10
—— = 3.33333
