Question

What is the sum of 3/5 and 18/19

Answer 1

Answer:
`(147)/(95)`

Explanation:

1. Change the numbers of the fractions while maintaining the same value by finding the least common denominator.

2. The least common denominator of 5 and 19 is 95.

3. Multiply each denominator by the number that is required to equal 95; 5 must be multiplied by 19, 19 must be multiplied by 5.

4. Multiply the numerator by the same number you multipled to the denominator; 3 must be multiplied by 19, 18 must be multiplied by 5.

`(3)/(5) +(18)/(19) =(3*19)/(5*19) +(18*5)/(19*5) =(57)/(95)+(90)/(95)`

5. Now you can easily add the numerators.

`(57)/(95)+(90)/(95)=(147)/(95)`

6. You can also write it as a mixed fraction.

`1+(57)/(90)=1+(19)/(30)`
