Hello! :)

Answer:

=21/20

*The answer must have a fraction.*

Explanation:

Lesson: Adding Fractions.

First multiply/add by the numbers from numerator and denominator too.


(5)/(20)+(16)/(20)

If the denominator are equal, you should combine the fractions.


(5+16)/(20)

And finally, add by the numbers.


5+16=21

Final answer: →
(21)/(20)

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a great day!

Answer:

21/20

Explanation:

you find a common multiple for the 4 and 5, and multiply to get it. In this case, it would be 20. So, you multiply 1 and 4 by 5 so it would be 5/20. And multiply 4 and 5 by 4 to get 16/20. 5/20+16/20 is 21/20.
