Answer:
41/20
Explanation:
Simplify the following:
4/5 + 1/2 + 3/4
Hint: | Put the fractions in 4/5 + 1/2 + 3/4 over a common denominator.
Put 4/5 + 1/2 + 3/4 over the common denominator 20. 4/5 + 1/2 + 3/4 = (4×4)/20 + 10/20 + (5×3)/20:
(4×4)/20 + 10/20 + (5×3)/20
Hint: | Multiply 4 and 4 together.
4×4 = 16:
16/20 + 10/20 + (5×3)/20
Hint: | Multiply 5 and 3 together.
5×3 = 15:
16/20 + 10/20 + 15/20
Hint: | Add the fractions over a common denominator to a single fraction.
16/20 + 10/20 + 15/20 = (16 + 10 + 15)/20:
(16 + 10 + 15)/20
Hint: | Evaluate 16 + 10 + 15 using long addition.
