Answer:
5/10+1/4=3/4
5/10+1/4=3/4
Solution:
5/10+1/4=?
5/10+1/4=?
The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.
LCD(5/10, 1/4) = 20
Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.
(5/10×2/2)+(14×5/5)=?
(5/10×2/2)+(14×5/5)=?
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
10/20+5/20=?
10/20+5/20=?
The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.
Then:
10+5/20=15/20
10+5/20=15/20
This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 15 and 20 using
GCF(15,20) = 5
15÷5/20÷5=3/4
15÷5/20÷5=3/4
Therefore:
5/10+1/4=34
