Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "57.5" was replaced by "(575/10)".

Step  1  :

            115
 Simplify   ———
             2 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         115
  106 +  ———
          2 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

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

            106     106 • 2
     106 =  ———  =  ———————
             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:

 106 • 2 + 115     327
 —————————————  =  ———
       2            2 

Final result :

  327             
  ——— = 163.50000
