Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "4.7" was replaced by "(47/10)".

Step  1  :

            47
 Simplify   ——
            10

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  47    
  —— +  10
  10    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

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

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

 47 + 10 • 10     147
 ————————————  =  ———
      10          10 

Final result :

  147            
  ——— = 14.70000 
  10
