Answer:

firs find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5+7/10

Multiples of 5 = {5,10,15,20,25,30,35...}

Multiples of 10 = {10,20,30,40,50...}

Common multiples = {10,20,30,...}

Least Common Multiples = {10}

2/5+7/10

= 2(2) + 7(1)

= 11/LCM

But the LCM = 10

11/10
