Math Problem Statement

4) (7/10 + 2/3):

Solution

Let's solve each of the problems step by step.


4) 710+23\frac{7}{10} + \frac{2}{3}: To add these fractions, we need a common denominator:

  • The least common denominator (LCD) of 10 and 3 is 30.
  • Rewrite the fractions:
    710=2130\frac{7}{10} = \frac{21}{30},
    23=2030\frac{2}{3} = \frac{20}{30}.
  • Add the fractions:
    2130+2030=4130\frac{21}{30} + \frac{20}{30} = \frac{41}{30}.
  • Simplify:
    4130\frac{41}{30} is an improper fraction.

Answer: 4130\frac{41}{30} or 111301 \frac{11}{30}.


5) 12+310\frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{10}:

  • The LCD of 2 and 10 is 10.
  • Rewrite the fractions:
    12=510\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{10},
    310\frac{3}{10} stays the same.
  • Add the fractions:
    510+310=810\frac{5}{10} + \frac{3}{10} = \frac{8}{10}.
  • Simplify:
    810=45\frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}.

Answer: 45\frac{4}{5}.


6) 35+34\frac{3}{5} + \frac{3}{4}:

  • The LCD of 5 and 4 is 20.
  • Rewrite the fractions:
    35=1220\frac{3}{5} = \frac{12}{20},
    34=1520\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20}.
  • Add the fractions:
    1220+1520=2720\frac{12}{20} + \frac{15}{20} = \frac{27}{20}.
  • Simplify:
    2720\frac{27}{20} is an improper fraction.

Answer: 2720\frac{27}{20} or 17201 \frac{7}{20}.


7) 210+35\frac{2}{10} + \frac{3}{5}:

  • The LCD of 10 and 5 is 10.
  • Rewrite the fractions:
    210\frac{2}{10} stays the same,
    35=610\frac{3}{5} = \frac{6}{10}.
  • Add the fractions:
    210+610=810\frac{2}{10} + \frac{6}{10} = \frac{8}{10}.
  • Simplify:
    810=45\frac{8}{10} = \frac{4}{5}.

Answer: 45\frac{4}{5}.


8) 24+12\frac{2}{4} + \frac{1}{2}:

  • Simplify 24=12\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}.
  • Add the fractions:
    12+12=22=1\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1.

Answer: 11.


9) 210+13\frac{2}{10} + \frac{1}{3}:

  • The LCD of 10 and 3 is 30.
  • Rewrite the fractions:
    210=630\frac{2}{10} = \frac{6}{30},
    13=1030\frac{1}{3} = \frac{10}{30}.
  • Add the fractions:
    630+1030=1630\frac{6}{30} + \frac{10}{30} = \frac{16}{30}.
  • Simplify:
    1630=815\frac{16}{30} = \frac{8}{15}.

Answer: 815\frac{8}{15}.
