Answer:
15/20(3/4), 9/10
Step-by-step explanation:
well in order to add or subtract fractions for that matter, you must have the a common denominator meaning the bottom number on both of the fractions must be the same. and in order to do that you must take the smaller denominator and find what can multiply that into the bigger denominator so in your case 5 is the smaller denominator so in order to get 20 we multiply by 4 and so what you do to the bottom you must also do to the top so we have 3 and now we must also multiply that by 4 leaving us with 12/20 as our new fraction. so now the adding is easy, 7+12=15 and you keep the same denominator 20
so your first answer would be 15/20 and if you need that simplified then you do the same thing once again and you find a common factor between your denominator (the bottom number) and the numerator (the top number) and in this case they do have a common factor which is 5 therefore if you divide both parts ofthe fraction by 5 it will leave you with 3/4 which is your simplified answer to this first question
now for the second equation i'm not going to go through the steps one by one again, as we already have but you may feel free to practice these on your own, but if we skip the step of creating the denominators to be the same with a common factor, then we will should have 6/10+3/10 leaving us with 9/10 as our simplified answer because 9 and 10 do not have any number in common to divide by.
