Answer: 19/20

Explanation:

7/10 turns into 14/20

1/4 turns into 5/20

14/20 + 5/20

14 + 5 over 20

= 19/20

19/20 is in simplest form.

\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{What\ is\ (7)/(10)+(1)/(4)\ in\ simplest\ form?}


\text{First, look for the lowest common denominator (LCD) of the fractions.}\\\text{If you did the calculations correctly, you should've came up with 20 as}\\\text{your LCD}


\mathsf{Here\ is\ how so: (7*2)/(10*2)+(1*5)/(4*5) = \ ?}


\mathsf{7*2=14\leftarrow first\ numerator}\\\mathsf{10*2=20\leftarrow first\ denominator}


\mathsf{1*5=5\leftarrow second\ numerator}\\\mathsf{4*5=20\leftarrow second\ denominator}


\mathsf{Your\ new\ equation\ SHOULD\ look\ like\ this: (14)/(20)+(5)/(20)}


\text{Since, your DENOMINATORS are ALIKE we can KEEP IT}


\mathsf{Which\ leaves\ us\ with\ the\ last\ step\ of\ the\ problem}


\mathsf{ (14+5)/(20)}}


\mathsf{14+5=19\leftarrow your\ new\ numerator}\\\\\mathsf{20 = 20\leftarrow your\ new\ denominator}


\boxed{\boxed{\bf{Answer: \mathsf{(19)/(20)}}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
