Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "5.3" was replaced by "(53/10)".

Step  1  :

            53
 Simplify   ——
            10

Equation at the end of step  1  :

          53
  1170 +  ——
          10

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  10  as the denominator :

             1170     1170 • 10
     1170 =  ————  =  —————————
              1          10    

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:

 1170 • 10 + 53     11753
 ——————————————  =  —————
       10            10  

Final result :

  11753              
  ————— = 1175.30000 
   10
