Explain how to find the sum of 3/10 + 4/100

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer: 17/50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to add fractions, we must find a common denominator, in this case, 100.

Then, we must make the fractions being added all have the common denominator.

So, we must multiply 3/10 * 10/10, which equals 30/100

30/100 + 4/100

Then, just add across the numerator to get 34/100, which can be simplified to 17/50
