Erica filled 2/5 of a page of her notebook on Monday. She filled 5/6 of a page on Tuesday.

How many pages did Erica fill in her notebook?
Express your answer in simplest form.

= ? ?/?

Answer 1

So first we change the denominators to equal each other. I'm going to pick 30 since both 5 and 6 can go in it.

2/5 = 12/30
5/6 = 25/30

37/30

1 7/30 pages of her notebook are filled :)
