Question

What is the quotient of 4/10 + 5/8

Answer 1

Assuming your plus sign means divide:

`(4)/(10) / (5)/(10)` becomes

`(4)/(10) * (8)/(5)` you flip the second fraction and multiply. To multiply you multiply across the bottom and then across the top.

`(4)/(10) * (8)/(5) = (32)/(50) or (16)/(25) or .64`

Hope that helps. Feel free to ask any questions.
