Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "8.02" was replaced by "(802/100)".

Step  1  :

            401
 Simplify   ———
            50 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       401
  9 +  ———
       50 

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  50  as the denominator :

          9     9 • 50
     9 =  —  =  ——————
          1       50  

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:

 9 • 50 + 401     851
 ————————————  =  ———
      50          50 

Final result :

  851            
  ——— = 17.02000 
  50
