Questions: a. 7/5 + 2/10

Solution Steps

To solve the problem of adding two fractions, we need to find a common denominator. Once we have a common denominator, we can convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with that denominator and then add the numerators.

We start with the fractions: \[ \frac{7}{5} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{2}{10} \]

Simplify \(\frac{2}{10}\): \[ \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5} \]

The common denominator for \(\frac{7}{5}\) and \(\frac{1}{5}\) is 5.

Since the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators directly: \[ \frac{7}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{7 + 1}{5} = \frac{8}{5} \]
