Question

$$1/2+1/5$$

Evaluate

$\frac{7}{10}=0.7$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of $2$ and $5$ is $10$. Convert $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{5}$ to fractions with denominator $10$.

$$\frac{5}{10}+\frac{2}{10}$$

Since $\frac{5}{10}$ and $\frac{2}{10}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+2}{10}$$

Add $5$ and $2$ to get $7$.

$$\frac{7}{10}$$

Factor

$\frac{7}{2 \cdot 5} = 0.7$
