Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.05" was replaced by "(05/100)".

Step  1  :

             1
 Simplify   ——
            20

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   1    
  —— +  5
  20    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  20  as the denominator :

         5     5 • 20
    5 =  —  =  ——————
         1       20  

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:

 1 + 5 • 20     101
 ——————————  =  ———
     20         20 

Final result :

  101           
  ——— = 5.05000 
  20
