Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :
5 5 • 5
5 = — = —————
1 5
Equivalent fraction: The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
the Common denominator: The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
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:
5 • 5 - (1) 24
——————————— = ——
5 5
24
—— < 0
