What is 95/29 + 4/11?

What is 95/29 + 4/11?

This is how to add

95
29
+
4
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 95 by 11, and get 1045, then we multiply 29 by 11 and get 319.

95/29 times 11

Now for the second term. You multiply 4 by 29, and get 116, then multiply 29 by 11 and get 319.

4/11 times 29

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

1045
319
+
116
319

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

1045 + 116 = 1161

Answer:

1161
319

Step 3

Now, do we need to simplify this fraction?

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