:
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction
2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 3 as the denominator :
2 2 • 3
2 = — = —————
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 :
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:
7 - (2 • 3) 1
——————————— = —
3 3
Final result :
1
— = 0.33333
