Question

Erica filled 2/5 of a page of her notebook on Monday. She filled 5/6 of a page on Tuesday. How many pages did Erica fill in her notebook? Express you answer in simplest form....Help me plzzzzz

Answer 1

2/5 + 5/6

Start with the denominator

To compare or combined they must be the same kind. Basically the bottom numbers have to be the same.


5 x 6 = 30

Now go across from the bottom number to the top


5 x 5 = 25
6 x 2 = 12

12/30 + 25/30 = 37/30
