Question

Solve the equation: 7/10 + 1/5

Answer 1

Answer:

9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we simply need to find the common denominator, which in this case, is 10

5 x 2 = 20

1/5 = 2/10

7/10 + 2/10 = 9/10

Thus, our answer is 9/10

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{9}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{7}{10}$ +  $\frac{1}{5}$

First, convert the equation so that the two fractions have the same denominator (number on the bottom half of the equation). Five can go into ten, so convert the fraction $\frac{1}{5}$. Use a conversion factor of  $\frac{2}{1}$.

$\frac{1}{5}$ × $\frac{2}{1}$ = $\frac{2}{10}$

Now, you can add the two fractions.

$\frac{7}{10}$ + $\frac{2}{10}$ = $\frac{9}{10}$
