Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "2.4" was replaced by "(24/10)". 2 more similar replacement(s)

Step  1  :

            12
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

         86          12
  (14 • ———) +  (5 • ——)
        100          5 

Step  2  :

            43
 Simplify   ——
            50

Equation at the end of step  2  :

        43     
  (14 • ——) +  12
        50     

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  25  as the denominator :

          12     12 • 25
    12 =  ——  =  ———————
          1        25   

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 :

 3.2       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:

 301 + 12 • 25     601
 —————————————  =  ———
      25           25 

Final result :

  601            
  ——— = 24.04000 
  25
