Solution - Reducing fractions to their lowest terms

Step  1  :

             1
 Simplify   ——
            15

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   1    
  —— +  150
  15    

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 2.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  15  as the denominator :

           150     150 • 15
    150 =  ———  =  ————————
            1         15   

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:

 1 + 150 • 15     2251
 ————————————  =  ————
      15           15 

Final result :

  2251             
  ———— = 150.06667 
   15
