4
Explanation:
1
Simplify —
4
Equation at the end of step 1 :
1
45 + (— • m)
4
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Adding a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 4 as the denominator :
45 45 • 4
45 = —— = ——————
1 4
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
45 • 4 + m m + 180
—————————— = ———————
4 4
Final result :
m + 180
———————
4
