Final answer:

The correct sum of 1/10 and 8/100 is 18/100 or 0.18 when converted to decimals.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the correct sum of 1/10 and 8/100, first make sure both fractions have a common denominator. Since 100 is a common multiple of 10 and 100, convert 1/10 to 10/100. Now, add 10/100 to 8/100 to get 18/100, which is the correct sum.

To check if this is right, convert the fractions to decimals. 1/10 is equal to 0.1, and 8/100 is the same as 0.08. When you add these together, 0.1 + 0.08, you get 0.18, confirming that 18/100 is the correct sum.

To add 1/10 and 8/100, they must have the same denominator.

To do this, multiply 1/10 by 10/10 (which equals one, so it doesn't change the value of the fraction).

Now you have 10/100 and 8/100. To add them, simply add the numerators and keep the denominators the same.

This results in 18/100, which can be simplified to 9/50.
