Reduce the fraction \frac{350}{400} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 50.
14=4+\left(\frac{8}{8}-\frac{7}{8}\right)m
Convert 1 to fraction \frac{8}{8}.
14=4+\frac{8-7}{8}m
Since \frac{8}{8} and \frac{7}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
14=4+\frac{1}{8}m
Subtract 7 from 8 to get 1.
4+\frac{1}{8}m=14
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{1}{8}m=14-4
Subtract 4 from both sides.
\frac{1}{8}m=10
Subtract 4 from 14 to get 10.
m=10\times 8
Multiply both sides by 8, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{8}.
m=80
Multiply 10 and 8 to get 80.
