Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

             3
 Simplify   ——
            10

Equation at the end of step  1  :

          3
  270 +  ——
         10

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  10  as the denominator :

            270     270 • 10
     270 =  ———  =  ————————
             1         10   

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:

 270 • 10 + 3     2703
 ————————————  =  ————
      10           10 

Final result :

  2703             
  ———— = 270.30000 
   10
