Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

            11
 Simplify   ——
            12

Equation at the end of step  1  :

       11
  2 +  ——
       12

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  12  as the denominator :

          2     2 • 12
     2 =  —  =  ——————
          1       12  

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:

 2 • 12 + 11     35
 ———————————  =  ——
     12          12

Final result :

  35           
  —— = 2.91667 
  12
