Question

What is 3/10 + 1/4 + 4/5 enter your answer in the box as a mixed number in simplest form

Answer 1

`1 (7)/(20)`

Explanation:

Well you should find a common denominator for 10, 4 and 5 first to be able to mix them. Let's take 20 because it's the smallest number we can convert 10, and 4 and 5 to.

So

`(3 * 2)/(10 * 2) + (1 * 5)/(4 * 5) + (4 * 4)/(5 * 4)`

And you get

6/20 + 5/20 + 16/20 (now you can add them because they all have 20 as denominator) so = 27/20 = 1 7/20

Answer 2

The LCD is 20 so your answer should be
(27/20)or (1 and 7/20)
