Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.012" was replaced by "(012/1000)".

Step  1  :

             3 
 Simplify   ———
            250

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   3     
  ——— +  1
  250    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  250  as the denominator :

         1     1 • 250
    1 =  —  =  ———————
         1       250  

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

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 2.2       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:

 3 + 250     253
 ———————  =  ———
   250       250

Final result :

  253           
  ——— = 1.01200 
  250
