Hey there!

To solve this problem, add 1/10 and 3/5 . . .

LCD of 3/5 = 6/10

(1/10 should stay as it is so the equation will be 1/10 + 6/10)

1 + 6 = 7

The denominator is the same for both fractions, so your answer will be 7/10.

1/10 + 3/5 = 7/10 <-----

7/10 of the chocolate bar was eaten.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
