Transcript
The problem. Here is the problem: 6 over 11 plus 6 over 10 times 7. Exact arithmetic with fractions (results kept in lowest terms).
Step by step. Multiply numerators and multiply denominators. Rewrite both fractions with the least common denominator. The LCD of 11 and 5 is 55. Add the numerators and keep the denominator. Final answer in lowest terms.
The answer. So the answer is 261 over 55. Fractions are combined over a common denominator for addition and subtraction, multiplied straight across, and divided by multiplying by the reciprocal. The result is reduced by the greatest common factor.
Check. Decimal check: 261 over 55 approximately 4.745454545. As a mixed number: 4 41 over 55.
