What is 87/100 + 10/11?

What is 87/100 + 10/11?

Here's how you add

87
100
+
10
11

Step 1

We can't add two fractions with different denominators (the bottom number). So you need to get a common denominator - both bottom numbers need to match. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 87 by 11, and get 957, then we multiply 100 by 11 and get 1100.

87/100 times 11

Do the same for the second term. We multiply 10 by 100, and get 1000, then multiply 100 by 11 and get 1100.

10/11 times 100

So now our fractions look like this:

957
1100
+
1000
1100

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

957 + 1000 = 1957

So the answer is:

1957
1100

Step 3

Last of all, we need to simplify the fraction, if possible. Can it be reduced to a simpler fraction?

To find out, we try dividing it by 2...
