Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

3.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 7 as the denominator :

-24 -24 • 7

-24 = ——— = ———————

1 7

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:

-24 • 7 - (6 • (h-8)) -6h - 120

————————————————————— = —————————

:

5.1 Multiply both sides by 7

5.2 Divide both sides by -6

Remember to flip the inequality sign:

Solve Basic Inequality :

5.3 Subtract 20 from both sides
