Live result23/20common denominator add: raw result 23/20; divide by GCD 1 to simplify. Mixed number 1 3/20; decimal 1.15.
Formula used

For addition/subtraction: a/b ± c/d = (ad ± bc) ÷ bd. For multiplication: a/b × c/d = ac ÷ bd. For division: a/b ÷ c/d = ad ÷ bc. Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.

This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Assumptions used

What this answer assumes

Exact simplified fraction first; decimal shown for checking and measurement notes.

  • Denominators are rounded to whole numbers and must not be zero.
  • The operation selector uses add, subtract, multiply and divide buttons; internally these map to deterministic arithmetic modes.
  • The calculator reduces the final fraction after the operation, not each intermediate display only.
  • Division by a zero second fraction is undefined.
  • Decimal output is a checking aid; the exact simplified fraction is the primary result.

Master’s Tip

How to use the result well

Master’s Tip: keep the exact fraction beside the decimal when teaching, quoting recipe changes or checking construction marks. A rounded decimal can hide whether the result is exact or only an approximation.

Same fractions, different operations

Switching the operation changes the arithmetic rule. Keep the exact simplified fraction beside the decimal check.

Method

For addition/subtraction: a/b ± c/d = (ad ± bc) ÷ bd. For multiplication: a/b × c/d = ac ÷ bd. For division: a/b ÷ c/d = ad ÷ bc. Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor.

  1. For 3/4 + 2/5, use a common denominator: (3 × 5 + 2 × 4) ÷ (4 × 5) = (15 + 8) ÷ 20 = 23/20. As a mixed number, 23/20 is 1 and 3/20. As a decimal, it is 1.15.

Assumptions

  • Denominators are rounded to whole numbers and must not be zero.
  • The operation selector uses add, subtract, multiply and divide buttons; internally these map to deterministic arithmetic modes.
  • The calculator reduces the final fraction after the operation, not each intermediate display only.
  • Division by a zero second fraction is undefined.
