Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.385" was replaced by "(385/1000)".

Step  1  :

             77
 Simplify   ———
            200

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   77    
  ——— +  94
  200    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  200  as the denominator :

          94     94 • 200
    94 =  ——  =  ————————
          1        200   

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:

 77 + 94 • 200     18877
 —————————————  =  —————
      200           200 

Final result :

  18877            
  ————— = 94.38500 
   200
