Question

Find the sum of 5

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{10}{50} + \frac{35}{50}$

Sum: [/tex] \frac{9}{10} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, $\frac{1}{5}$ and $\frac{7}{10}$

Expressing in an equivalent form whereby they would have a common denominator, we would multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the denominator of the other fraction.

Thus, we would have:

$\frac{1 \times 10}{5 \times 10} = \frac{10}{50}$

$\frac{7 \times 5}{10 \times 5} = \frac{35}{50}$

$\frac{10}{50} + \frac{35}{50}$

The sum is: $\frac{10}{50} + \frac{35}{50} = \frac{10 + 35}{50} = \frac{45}{50}$

Simplify

$\frac{45}{50} = \frac{9}{10}$
