Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "1.2" was replaced by "(12/10)".

Step  1  :

            6
 Simplify   —
            5

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        6
  12 +  —
        5

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

           12     12 • 5
     12 =  ——  =  ——————
           1        5   

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:

 12 • 5 + 6     66
 ——————————  =  ——
     5          5 

Final result :

  66            
  —— = 13.20000 
  5
