What is 63/58 + 7/11?

What is 63/58 + 7/11?

This is how to add

63
58
+
7
11

Step 1

Can you add yet? Nope! The denominators don't match. We need a common denominator. So next we take both denominators and multiply them. Next, take each numerator and multiply it by the denominator of the other term.

So, we multiply 63 by 11, and get 693, then we multiply 58 by 11 and get 638.

63/58 times 11

Now for the second term. You multiply 7 by 58, and get 406, then multiply 58 by 11 and get 638.

7/11 times 58

We now have a new problem, that looks like this:

693
638
+
406
638

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

693 + 406 = 1099

Answer:

1099
638

Step 3

Now, do we need to simplify this fraction?

First, we attempt to divide it by 2...
