—— - (0 - ———)
3 6
Step 2 :
7
Simplify —
1
Equation at the end of step 2 :
-101
7 - ————
6
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 6 as the denominator :
7 7 • 6
7 = — = —————
1 6
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:
7 • 6 - (-101) 143
—————————————— = ———
6
6 6
Final result :
143
——— = 23.83333
