Question

What is 36/100 added with 4/10

Answer 1

Answer:

0.76 or 19/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 4/10 so that it has a common denominator with 36/100.

4/10 x 10/10 = 40/100

Now that the denominator is the same, just add the top values.

40/100 + 36/100 = 76/100

We can also simplify the answer to be 19/25 by dividing the top and bottom by 4.

Answer 2

Answer:

19/25

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{36}{100}+\frac{4}{10}\\Let\: first\: deal\: with\: ;\frac{36}{100}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:4\\=\frac{9}{25}\\\\=\frac{9}{25}+\frac{4}{10}\\Now \:lets \:deal \:with ; \frac{4}{10}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:2\\=\frac{2}{5}\\=\frac{9}{25}+\frac{2}{5}\\\mathrm{Prime\:factorization\:of\:}25:\quad 5\times\:5\\\mathrm{Prime\:factorization\:of\:}5:\quad 5\\\mathrm{Multiply\:each\:factor\:the\:greatest\:number\:of\:times\:it\:occurs\:in\:either\:}25\mathrm{\:or\:}5$

$\lim_{n \to \infty} a_n =5\cdot \:5\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:the\:numbers:}\:5\cdot \:5=25\\=25\\\mathrm{Multiply\:each\:numerator\:by\:the\:same\:amount\:needed\:to\:multiply\:its}\\\mathrm{corresponding\:denominator\:to\:turn\:it\:into\:the\:LCM}\:25\\\mathrm{For}\:\frac{2}{5}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}5\\\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2\times \:5}{5\times \:5}=\frac{10}{25}\\=\frac{9}{25}+\frac{10}{25}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}\\=\frac{9+10}{25}\\\\=\frac{19}{25}$
