Full solution

Q. Add.\newline310+15=\frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{5}=_____
  1. Identify Common Denominator: Identify a common denominator for 310\frac{3}{10} and 15\frac{1}{5}. Both fractions can be expressed with a common denominator of 1010, since 55 is a factor of 1010.
  2. Convert to Denominator of 1010: Convert 15\frac{1}{5} to a fraction with a denominator of 1010.\newlineTo do this, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 22.\newline15=(1×2)(5×2)=210\frac{1}{5} = \frac{(1\times2)}{(5\times2)} = \frac{2}{10}
  3. Add Fractions: Add the two fractions with the common denominator.\newline310+210=(3+2)10=510\frac{3}{10} + \frac{2}{10} = \frac{(3+2)}{10} = \frac{5}{10}
  4. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction 510\frac{5}{10}. 510\frac{5}{10} can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 55. 510=(5/5)(10/5)=12\frac{5}{10} = \frac{(5/5)}{(10/5)} = \frac{1}{2}
