Step  4  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

 4.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

      The left denominator is :       2 

      The right denominator is :       10 

      Least Common Multiple:
      10 

Calculating Multipliers :

 4.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions


    Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M 
    Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M 
    Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno 

   Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 5

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 1

Making Equivalent Fractions :

 4.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)²   and  (y²+y)/(y+1)³  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

   L. Mult. • L. Num.      35 • 5
   ——————————————————  =   ——————
         L.C.M               10  

   R. Mult. • R. Num.      11
   ——————————————————  =   ——
         L.C.M             10

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 4.4       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:

 35 • 5 - (11)     82
 —————————————  =  ——
      10           5 

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  82    21
  —— -  ——
  5     5 

Step  5  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 5.1       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:

 82 - (21)     61
 —————————  =  ——
     5         5 

Final result :

  61            
  —— = 12.20000
