Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "9.8" was replaced by "(98/10)".

Step  1  :

            49
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        49
  14 +  ——
        5 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

           14     14 • 5
     14 =  ——  =  ——————
           1        5   

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:

 14 • 5 + 49     119
 ———————————  =  ———
      5           5 

Final result :

  119            
  ——— = 23.80000 
   5
