Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.
LCD(
,
) = 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.
(
×
)+(
×
)=?
Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes
+
=?
The two fractions now have like denominators so you can add the numerators.
Then:
=
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
=
Therefore:
+
=
