Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "16.5" was replaced by "(165/10)".

Step  1  :

            33
 Simplify   ——
            2 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  33    
  —— +  340
  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 :

           340     340 • 2
    340 =  ———  =  ———————
            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:

 33 + 340 • 2     713
 ————————————  =  ———
      2            2 

Final result :

  713             
  ——— = 356.50000
