00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.271
Here is the problem: 3 plus 10 minus (11 over 5) minus 5.

2
00:00:05.721 --> 00:00:09.634
Exact arithmetic with fractions (results kept in lowest terms).

3
00:00:10.434 --> 00:00:11.653
Add the whole numbers.

4
00:00:12.103 --> 00:00:18.094
Rewrite both fractions with the least common denominator. The LCD of 1 and 5 is 5.

5
00:00:18.544 --> 00:00:21.214
Subtract the numerators and keep the denominator.

6
00:00:21.664 --> 00:00:27.585
Rewrite both fractions with the least common denominator. The LCD of 5 and 1 is 5.

7
00:00:28.385 --> 00:00:31.218
Subtract the numerators and keep the denominator.

8
00:00:31.668 --> 00:00:33.746
Final answer in lowest terms.

9
00:00:34.546 --> 00:00:37.193
So the answer is 29 over 5.

10
00:00:37.643 --> 00:00:50.519
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.

11
00:00:51.318 --> 00:00:55.602
Decimal check: 29 over 5 approximately 5.8.

12
00:00:56.052 --> 00:00:58.989
As a mixed number: 5 4 over 5.
