Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "1.55" was replaced by "(155/100)".

Step  1  :

            31
 Simplify   ——
            20

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  31    
  —— +  6
  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 :

         6     6 • 20
    6 =  —  =  ——————
         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:

 31 + 6 • 20     151
 ———————————  =  ———
     20          20 

Final result :

  151           
  ——— = 7.55000 
  20
