Step-by-Step Solution: 4/25 + 2/8
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 25 and 8 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 25 ร 8 = 200.
LCD(25, 8) = 200
Step 2
Convert to Equivalent Fractions with Common Denominator 200
Multiply the numerator and denominator of 4/25 by 8, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/8 by 25 so both fractions share the common base 200.
4 ร 8/25 ร 8 = 32/200 and 2 ร 25/8 ร 25 = 50/200
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (32 + 50 = 82) and keep the common denominator 200 unchanged.
32 + 50/200 = 82/200
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 82 and 200, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
82 รท 2/200 รท 2 = 41/100
Step 5
Decimal & Percentage Representation
Dividing the numerator 41 by denominator 100 yields an exact terminating decimal of 0.41 (or 41%).
