Question

What does 40/100+2/10 equal?

Answer 1

3/5

Because 40/100 simplifies to 2/5 and 2/10 simplies to 1/5

1/5 + 2/5 = 3/5

Answer 2

To add two fractions, we must first make them have a common denominator. In this case, we can create a common denominator of 10 for both of the fractions in order for us to add them together.

In the fraction 40/100, if we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their shared factor of 10, we can simplify this fraction.

(40/10) / (100/10) = 4/10

Therefore, if we substitute this value in for our original fraction 40/100, we can add our two fractions together, as follows:

4/10 + 2/10 (add the numerators and keep the same denominator) = 6/10

However, 6/10 isn't in simplest form because we can divide both the numerator and the denominator of this fraction by 2 to simplify it.

(6/2) / (10/2) = 3/5

Therefore, your answer is 3/5.

Hope this helps!
