Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "77.5" was replaced by "(775/10)".

Step  1  :

            155
 Simplify   ———
             2 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        155
  95 +  ———
         2 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  2  as the denominator :

           95     95 • 2
     95 =  ——  =  ——————
           1        2   

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:

 95 • 2 + 155     345
 ————————————  =  ———
      2            2 

Final result :

  345             
  ——— = 172.50000
