3/10 + 6/10 = 9/10 (nine tenths)

Hi there!

Since the denominators are the same in both fractions, this makes solving the problem super easy! All we need to do is to add the numbers across the fractions (numerator + numerator). We do not add the denominators together because they are the same.

WORK:
3/10 + 6/10 = 9/10

ANSWER:
Ross and Brady ate 9/10 of the pie together.

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
