Let's say you had a cake that is cut into 5 equal slices. Then someone eats 2 of those slices. They ate 2/5 of the cake.
Now let's say you have another cake that you cut into 10 equal slices. If someone eats 4 of those ten, then they have eaten 4/10 = 2/5 of the cake.
Check out the diagram below to see a visual of how 4/10 and 2/5 are equivalent fractions.
Going from 2/5 to 4/10 has us multiply top and bottom by 2.
-----------
Similarly, 1/2 = 5/10 after multiplying top and bottom by 10
The original expression 2/5 + 1/2 turns into 4/10 + 5/10
Then you add the numerators to get 4+5 = 9, placing that over the common denominator of 10
<h3>Answer: 9/10</h3>

Answer: 10%</h3>
Work Shown:
2/20 = 0.10 = 10%
Note that 10% of 20 = 0.10*20 = 2 dollars is the sales tax to help confirm the answer.
684,000. This should give you the correct answer as the 4 is the thousands place. Good luck :D
