Question

$$\frac { 5 } { 7 } + \frac { ( - 4 ) } { 14 }$$

Evaluate

$\frac{3}{7}\approx 0.428571429$

Solution Steps

Reduce the fraction $\frac{-4}{14}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{5}{7}-\frac{2}{7}$$

Since $\frac{5}{7}$ and $\frac{2}{7}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{5-2}{7}$$

Subtract $2$ from $5$ to get $3$.

$$\frac{3}{7}$$

Factor

$\frac{3}{7} = 0.42857142857142855$
