Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "1.5" was replaced by "(15/10)".

Step  1  :

            3
 Simplify   —
            2

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   3            
  (— +  148) +  6
   2            

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

           148     148 • 2
    148 =  ———  =  ———————
            1         2   

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 + 148 • 2     299
 ———————————  =  ———
      2           2 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  299    
  ——— +  6
   2     

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

         6     6 • 2
    6 =  —  =  —————
         1       2  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

 299 + 6 • 2     311
 ———————————  =  ———
      2           2 

Final result :

  311             
  ——— = 155.50000
