In math a multiple step problem is one that takes more than one step to solve.
For example:
What is 1 3/4 + 3 3/8.
The first step is to change the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
1 3/4 = 7/4 and 3 3/8 = 27/8.
Next, the denominators need to be converted so they are the same. In this case, the 7/4 needs to be changed to 14/8.
Now, the numbers need to be added together:
14/8 + 27/8 = 41/8.
Next, the improper fraction needs to be changed to a mixed number.
41/8 = 5 1/8
If the fraction was not in simplest terms, it would need to be converted to simplest terms.

How can you solve a multistep problem that involves fraction?
The first step is to find the least common multiple (LCM) of all the denominators. Next, multiply each term by this LCM. When you have done this you will have a multistep problem which is free of fractions.
What are the step by step procedures to solve a problem?
first analyse the problem then designing,then coding,then testing
What is first step in problem solving?
Defining the problem.
What is the difference between 2 and 1 step equations?
The difference between a one step problem, and a two step problem is very simple. It refers to the amount of effort and steps that are in your problem. For example, 3x=5, is a one step equation. 3x-7=5, is a two step equation.
How do you sum unlike fractions?
Step 1: Find a common multiple of the two denominators. The least common multiple is preferable, but not an absolute necessity. Step 2a: Take the first fraction and find an equivalent fraction with this common multiple as its denominator. Step 2b: Do the same for the second fraction. Step 3: Add the numerators of these equivalent fraction and this will be the numerator of the sum. The denominator of the sum will be the common multiple. Step 4: Simplify the answer if possible. If you have gone for a common multiple rather than the lowest common multiple, this will always be possible. Step 5: Enjoy. So here is an example: 2/3 + 5/7 Step 1: The two denominators are 3 and 7. LCM(3, 7) = 21 Step 2a: 2/3 = 14/21 Step 2b: 5/7 = 15/21 Step 3: Numerator = 14+15 = 29. Denominator = 21. So answer = 29/21 Step 4: Cannot be simplified. Step 5: Oh, yesss!
