Step 1 :
91
Simplify ——
5
Equation at the end of step 1 :
168 91
(——— + 7) + ——
10 5
Step 2 :
84
Simplify ——
5
Equation at the end of step 2 :
84 91
(—— + 7) + ——
5 5
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 5 as the denominator :
7 7 • 5
7 = — = —————
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 :
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:
84 + 7 • 5 119
—————————— = ———
5 5
Equation at the end of step 3 :
119 91
——— + ——
5 5
Step 4 :
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
4.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
119 + 91 42
———————— = ——
5 1
Final result :
42
