Full solution

Q. Add.\newline910+15=\frac{9}{10} + \frac{1}{5}=_____
  1. Identify Common Denominator: Identify a common denominator for 910\frac{9}{10} and 15\frac{1}{5}. The denominators are 1010 and 55. The least common denominator (LCD) for these two fractions is 1010 because 1010 is the smallest number that both 55 and 1010 can divide into without leaving a remainder.
  2. Convert to Common Denominator: Convert 15\frac{1}{5} to a fraction with the common denominator of 1010. To convert 15\frac{1}{5} to a fraction with a denominator of 1010, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 22. 15×(22)=210\frac{1}{5} \times \left(\frac{2}{2}\right) = \frac{2}{10}
  3. Add Fractions: Add the two fractions with the common denominator.\newlineNow that both fractions have the same denominator, you can add them together.\newline910+210=9+210\frac{9}{10} + \frac{2}{10} = \frac{9+2}{10}
  4. Perform Numerator Addition: Perform the addition of the numerators.\newlineAdd the numerators together.\newline9+2=119 + 2 = 11\newlineSo, 910+210=1110\frac{9}{10} + \frac{2}{10} = \frac{11}{10}
  5. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction if possible.\newlineThe fraction 1110\frac{11}{10} is already in its simplest form because the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 11.
