What is 97/75 + 1/8?

What is 97/75 + 1/8?

This is how to add

97
75
+
1
8

Step 1

We 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 97 by 8, and get 776, then we multiply 75 by 8 and get 600.

97/75 times 8

Now for the second term. You multiply 1 by 75, and get 75, then multiply 75 by 8 and get 600.

1/8 times 75

This gives us a new problem that looks like so:

776
600
+
75
600

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

776 + 75 = 851

So what's the answer so far?

851
600

Step 3

Can this fraction be reduced?

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