Final answer:
To solve the problem, you rewrite the whole number 8 as 80/10 and add it to 35/10. This gives you 115/10, which simplifies to 11.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the LCM (Least Common Multiple), you typically need two or more numbers, but since the question seems to refer to the calculation of a sum involving a fraction and a whole number, I'll provide an explanation on how to perform the addition.
To add 35/10 and 8, first convert the whole number into a fraction by finding an equivalent fraction with 10 as the denominator. The whole number 8 can be rewritten as 80/10. Now you can add the two fractions directly:
- 35/10 + 80/10 = (35 + 80)/10
- That results in 115/10
Finally, simplifying the fraction, we get:
- 115/10 = 11 and 5/10
- Which simplifies to 11.5, because 5/10 is equal to 0.5.
