Solution - Adding, subtracting and finding the least common multiple
Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "^-2" was replaced by "^(-2)".
Step 1 :
1.1 10 = 2•5
(10)-2 = (2•5)(-2) = (2)(-2) • (5)(-2)
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(103) + ((2)(-2)•(5)(-2))
Step 2 :
2.1 10 = 2•5
(10)3 = (2•5)3 = 23 • 53
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(23•53) + ((2)(-2)•(5)(-2))
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 22 • 52 as the denominator :
(23•53) (23•53) • (22•52)
(23•53) = ——————— = —————————————————
1 (22•52)
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:
(23•53) • 100 + 1 100001
————————————————— = ——————
100 100
Final result :
100001
—————— = 1000.01000
100
