Solution - Adding, subtracting and finding the least common multiple
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 :
7
Simplify —
6
Equation at the end of step 1 :
1 7
(0 + —) + (0 + —)
6 6
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 6 as the denominator :
0 0 • 6
0 = — = —————
1 6
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:
0 • 6 + 7 7
————————— = —
6 6
Equation at the end of step 2 :
1 7
(0 + —) + —
6 6
Step 3 :

Simplify —
6
Equation at the end of step 3 :
1 7
(0 + —) + —
6 6
Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 6 as the denominator :
0 0 • 6
0 = — = —————
1 6
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
0 • 6 + 1 1
————————— = —
6 6
Equation at the end of step 4 :
1 7
— + —
6 6
Step 5 :
Adding fractions which have a common denominator :
5.1 Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
1 + 7 4
————— = —
6 3
Final result :
