Step-by-step explanation:
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
7
Simplify —
8
Equation at the end of step 1 :
7
6 - (m - —) = 0
8
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Subtracting a fraction from a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 8 as the denominator :
m m • 8
m = — = —————
1 8
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
