What is 97/75 + 6/11?

What is 97/75 + 6/11?

Here's how to add

97
75
+
6
11

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 11, and get 1067, then we multiply 75 by 11 and get 825.

97/75 times 11

Now for the second term. You multiply 6 by 75, and get 450, then multiply 75 by 11 and get 825.

6/11 times 75

This gives us a new problem that looks like so:

1067
825
+
450
825

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.

1067 + 450 = 1517

So what's the answer so far?

1517
825

Step 3

Can this fraction be reduced?

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