Question

What is 2/4 + 4/5 - 7/10 ? Please help

Answer 1

Make sure they have all common denominators
$\frac{2}{4} + \frac{4}{5} - \frac{7}{10}$

$\frac{2}{4} * \frac{5}{5} = \frac{10}{20}$

$\frac{4}{5} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{16}{20}$

$\frac{7}{10} * \frac{2}{2} = \frac{14}{20}$

$\frac{10}{20} + \frac{16}{20} - \frac{14}{20}$

Add $\frac{10}{20} + \frac{16}{20} = \frac{26}{20}$
$\frac{26}{20} - \frac{14}{20} = \frac{12}{20}$

To simplify, you must find the largest common factor which 4
In $\frac{12}{20}$
12÷4=3 and 20÷4=5

The answer is $\frac{3}{5}$
