Answer:
[tex] \frac{13}{20} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Before we can do anything with the fractions, we need to find a common denominator.
To do that, we will first divide 10 by 2 to get a denominator of 5, and whatever we do to the bottom we must do to the top as well. So we will also divide 6 by 2 to get 3.
So 6/10 has now been simplified to 3/5.
Next we can subtract 1/5 from 3/5 since they both share a common denominator of 5, now we have 2/5.
Now in order to find the common denominator of 2/5 and 1/4, we will simply cross multiply the two fractions together like so: (2 × 4 = 8 and 5 × 1 = 5), to get 8/20 and 5/20. So now we can add 8 and 5 normally, since they both share a common denominator now. That's how you get 13/20.
Hope it helps :)
