Answer:
(4)/(5)

Step-by-step explanation: The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(
(10)/(100),
(7)/(10)) = 100

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(
(10)/(100)×
(1)/(1))+(
(7)/(10)×
(10)/(10))=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes


(10)/(100)+
(7)/(10)=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.

Then:


(10+70)/(100)=
(80)/(100)

This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 80 and 100 using

GCF(80,100) = 20


(80÷20)/(100÷20)=
(4)/(5)

Therefore:


(10)/(100)+
(7)/(10)=
(4)/(5)
