Question

Add and Simplify 3/4 + 1/10

Answer 1

To add to rational numbers you can follow the next steps:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{3\times10+4\times1}{4\times10} \\ \Rightarrow\frac{30+4}{40}=\frac{34}{40} \end{gathered}$

Now, to simplify you can start by dividing both numbers by 2:

$\frac{34/2}{40/2}=\frac{17}{20}$

As 17 is a prime number, this is the final result: 17/20.
