Question

on the last day of camp, Cam spent 2/10 of the day climbing the trees and 3/10 of the day packing to go home. how much of the day did Cam bend on these two things? Simplify the answer if possible

Answer 1

Cam spent 1/2 of the day on these two things.

Step-by-step explanation

To know how much of the day he spent doing these two activities, we have to add the time he spent on each one:

`(2)/(10)+(3)/(10)=(5)/(10)`

And simplify the fraction. Both numerator and denominator can be divided by 5:

`(5)/(10)=(1)/(2)`

So he spent half the day in these activities.
