I tried to do this but I need some help after all but how do I add and reduce this to lower terms (fractions) 2 and 1/20 + 3 and 1/5

Sagot :

ADDING MIXED FRACTIONS

Sum of [tex]2 \frac{1}{20} [/tex] and [tex]3 \frac{1}{5} [/tex].

  • Convert the mixed numbers into improper fraction.

[tex]2 \frac{1}{20} + 3 \frac{1}{5} = \frac{41}{20} + \frac{16}{5} [/tex]

  • Get the LCD.

[tex] \frac{41}{20} + \frac{16}{5} = \frac{41 + 64}{20} = \frac{105}{20} \\ \\ \frac{105}{20} \div 5 = \frac{21}{4} or 5 \frac{1}{4} [/tex]

ANSWER:

The sum is [tex]5 \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
