Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "0.667" was replaced by "(667/1000)".
Step 1 :
667
Simplify ————
1000
Equation at the end of step 1 :
667
(———— + 75) + 55
1000
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 1000 as the denominator :
75 75 • 1000
75 = —— = —————————
1 1000
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:
667 + 75 • 1000 75667
——————————————— = —————
1000 1000
Equation at the end of step 2 :
75667
————— + 55
1000
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 1000 as the denominator :
55 55 • 1000
55 = —— = —————————
1 1000
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
75667 + 55 • 1000 130667
————————————————— = ——————
1000 1000
Final result :
130667
—————— = 130.66700
1000
