Question

$$2/5+1.3$$

$1.7$

Convert decimal number $1.3$ to fraction $\frac{13}{10}$.

$$\frac{2}{5}+\frac{13}{10}$$

Least common multiple of $5$ and $10$ is $10$. Convert $\frac{2}{5}$ and $\frac{13}{10}$ to fractions with denominator $10$.

$$\frac{4}{10}+\frac{13}{10}$$

Since $\frac{4}{10}$ and $\frac{13}{10}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{4+13}{10}$$

Add $4$ and $13$ to get $17$.

$$\frac{17}{10}$$

$\frac{17}{2 \cdot 5} = 1\frac{7}{10} = 1.7$
