Question

What is the value of 4/10+3/100?

Answer 1

You can change 4/10 to 40/100 and add to 3/100 for 43/100

Answer 2

`(43)/(100)`

Explanation:

`(4)/(10)+(3)/(100)`

What we're going to want to do here is make the bases (the bottom numbers) equal to each other before you add.

We do this by multiplying 4/10 by 10/10, which we can do because we're technically multiplying something by 1, which doesn't ever change anything.

`((4)/(10)*(10)/(10))+(3)/(100)`

simplify

`(40)/(100)+(3)/(100)`

Now that the bases are the same, we can add the top values.

`(40)/(100) +(3)/(100)=(43)/(100)`
