Questions: Complete the multiplication to make twentieths.
= ((1/2 + 1/5) / (2 × square)) + ((1 × square) / (5 × square))
Transcript text: Complete the multiplication to make twentieths.
\[
=\left(\frac{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5}}{2 \times \square}\right)+\left(\frac{1 \times \square}{5 \times \square}\right)
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Common Denominator
To complete the multiplication to make twentieths, we first identify the common denominator for the fractions involved. The common denominator is \(20\).
Step 2: Determine the Value of \(\square\)
Next, we determine the value of \(\square\) that will make the denominators equal to \(20\). We find that:
\[
\square = \frac{20}{5} = 4
\]
Step 3: Perform the Arithmetic Operations
Now, we substitute \(\square\) back into the expression and perform the arithmetic operations:
\[
\left(\frac{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5}}{2 \times 4}\right)+\left(\frac{1 \times 4}{5 \times 4}\right)
\]
Calculating this gives us:
\[
\text{Result} = 0.2875
\]
Final Answer
The value of \(\square\) is \(4\) and the result of the expression is \(0.2875\). Thus, we can summarize the final answer as:
\[
\boxed{\square = 4, \text{ Result} = 0.2875}
\]
