Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction
2.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 4 as the denominator :
7 7 • 4
7 = — = —————
1 4
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:
t - (7 • 4) t - 28
——————————— = ——————
4 4
Equation at the end of step
2
:
t - 28
—————— > 0
4
STEP
3
:
3.1 Multiply both sides by 4
Solve Basic Inequality :
3.2 Add 28 to both sides
t > 28
