Question

Find the sum. 2/5 + 1/2​

Answer 1

2/5 + 1/2

4+5 / 10 • look for the LCD of 5 and 2
which is 10 then 5 goes 2
times into 10 the multiply by 2
= 4. Then 2 goes 5 times into
10 then multiply by 1 = 5.

Therefore the sum of 2/5 + 1/2 =9/10

Answer 2

Answer:

9/10 NINE OVER 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To add two fractions they must be over a common denominator, which for this problem is  10. To put each fraction over a common denominator we must multiply each fraction by the appropriate form of  1. 2/5 + 1/2 ( 2/2 X 2/5 ) +  (5/5 X 1/2 ) --> 4/10 + 5/10

We can now add the numerators of the two fractions over the common denominator: 4/10 + 5/10 ---> 4+5/10 ---> 9/10.

Hope this helps! I know what does though, marking me brainliest.
