Question

$$1/4+1/5$$

Evaluate

$\frac{9}{20}=0.45$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of $4$ and $5$ is $20$. Convert $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{5}$ to fractions with denominator $20$.

$$\frac{5}{20}+\frac{4}{20}$$

Since $\frac{5}{20}$ and $\frac{4}{20}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+4}{20}$$

Add $5$ and $4$ to get $9$.

$$\frac{9}{20}$$

Factor

$\frac{3 ^ {2}}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5} = 0.45$
