Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. \newlined3+110d2\frac{d}{3} + \frac{1}{10d^2}
  1. Identify LCD: Identify the least common denominator (LCD) for the fractions.\newlineThe LCD for the fractions d3\frac{d}{3} and 110d2\frac{1}{10d^2} is 30d230d^2 because 30d230d^2 is the smallest number that both denominators (33 and 10d210d^2) can divide into without leaving a remainder.
  2. Rewrite fractions: Rewrite each fraction with the common denominator.\newlineTo rewrite d3\frac{d}{3} with the common denominator, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10d210d^2. To rewrite 110d2\frac{1}{10d^2} with the common denominator, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 33.\newline(d3)×(10d210d2)+(110d2)×(33)\left(\frac{d}{3}\right) \times \left(\frac{10d^2}{10d^2}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{10d^2}\right) \times \left(\frac{3}{3}\right)\newline= 10d330d2\frac{10d^3}{30d^2} + 330d2\frac{3}{30d^2}
  3. Combine fractions: Combine the fractions.\newlineNow that both fractions have the same denominator, you can combine them by adding their numerators.\newline(10d3+3)/30d2(10d^3 + 3) / 30d^2
  4. Simplify expression: Simplify the expression, if possible.\newlineIn this case, the numerator and the denominator do not have any common factors other than 11, so the expression is already in its simplest form.\newline(10d3+3)/30d2(10d^3 + 3) / 30d^2
