What is 87/100 + 6/10?

What is 87/100 + 6/10?

Here's how to add

87
100
+
6
10

Step 1

We have to make sure the denominators are equal.

100 goes into 10 evenly, so we only need to multiply one term to get a common denominator.

Multiply 6 by 10, and get 60, then we multiply 10 by 10 and get 100.

6/10 times 10

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

87
100
+
60
100

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

87 + 60 = 147

Answer:

147
100

Step 3

Now, do we need to simplify this fraction?

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