Step 1We still have different denominators (bottom numbers), though, so we need to get a common denominator. This will make the bottom numbers match. Multiply the denominators together first. Now, multiply each numerator by the other term's denominator. Now we multiply 87 by 11, and get 957, then we multiply 100 by 11 and get 1100. Now for the second term. You multiply 3 by 100, and get 300, then multiply 100 by 11 and get 1100. This gives us a new problem that looks like so:
