Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "0.25" was replaced by "(25/100)".

Step  1  :

            1
 Simplify   —
            4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        1
  25 +  —
        4

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

           25     25 • 4
     25 =  ——  =  ——————
           1        4   

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:

 25 • 4 + 1     101
 ——————————  =  ———
     4           4 

Final result :

  101            
  ——— = 25.25000 
   4
