Question

The sum of 1/2 and 1/5 is between 1/2 and one

Answer 1

Explanation:

To add 1/2 & 1/5 first take the LCM of denominators i.e. 10 now equates 1/2 by x/10 then the value of x=5. similarly equate1/5 by y/10 and y= 2.

now add x/10+y/10 i.e. 5/10+2/10 = 7/10 or 0.7

Answer 2

the answer is 7/10, and yes it is between a whole and a half because 7/10 is over 1/2 but less that a whole.

hope this helps !
