00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.982
Here is the problem: 10 over 4 minus 1 plus 4.

2
00:00:04.432 --> 00:00:08.519
Exact arithmetic with fractions (results kept in lowest terms).

3
00:00:09.319 --> 00:00:14.822
Rewrite both fractions with the least common denominator. The LCD of 2 and 1 is 2.

4
00:00:15.272 --> 00:00:18.105
Subtract the numerators and keep the denominator.

5
00:00:18.555 --> 00:00:24.012
Rewrite both fractions with the least common denominator. The LCD of 2 and 1 is 2.

6
00:00:24.462 --> 00:00:26.703
Add the numerators and keep the denominator.

7
00:00:27.503 --> 00:00:29.709
Final answer in lowest terms.

8
00:00:30.509 --> 00:00:32.576
So the answer is 11 over 2.

9
00:00:33.026 --> 00:00:45.646
Fractions are combined over a common denominator for addition and subtraction, multiplied straight across, and divided by multiplying by the reciprocal. The result is reduced by the greatest common factor.

10
00:00:46.446 --> 00:00:50.568
Decimal check: 11 over 2 approximately 5.5.

11
00:00:51.018 --> 00:00:53.619
As a mixed number: 5 1 over 2.
