Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "3.7" was replaced by "(37/10)".

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  37    
  —— +  32
  10    

Step  2  :

            37
 Simplify   ——
            10

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  37    
  —— +  32
  10    

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

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

          32     32 • 10
    32 =  ——  =  ———————
          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 :

 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:

 37 + 32 • 10     127
 ————————————  =  ———
      10          10 

Final result :

  127            
  ——— = 12.70000 
  10
