Question

What is the sum of 1/4+1/10

Answer 1

7/20

Explanation:

First, we need to find a common denominator.

The easiest way to do this is to look at the factors of each number:

4: 1, 2, 4

10:1, 2, 5, 10

Therefore, we can conclude that 20 would be a good denominator.

`(1)/(4)` =
`(5)/(20)`

`(1)/(10)` =
`(2)/(20)`

5 + 2 = 7.

Thus,
`(7)/(20)` is our final answer.

Answer 2

7/20

Explanation:

1/4+1/10

We need to get a common denominator of 20

1/4 *5/5 = 5/20

1/10 *2/2 = 2/20

5/20 + 2/20 = 7/20
