Answer:

with simplify: 1 4/20.

without simplify: 24/20

Explanation:

first we have to find the common denominator

can 4 go into 10? no.

can 4 go into 20? yes! it goes into 20, 5 times!

common denominator = 20

_/20 + _/20

what we do to the bottom we do to the top

7 x 2= 14

14/20 + _/20

2 x 5= 10

14/20 + 10/20 = 24/20

now simplify

1 4/20

hope this helped!
