Question

How do add 1 over 4 plus 2 over 5 and simplify

Answer 1

find a common denominator. so 20. so you would times 4 by 5 to get 20 then multiply 1 times 5 because whatever you do to the bottom you have to do to the top. so for your first fraction you would have 5/20. and then do the same with the other side but 5x4 is 20. take 2x4 now. so then you would have 8/20. and finally add 5/20+8/20=13/20 and that is the most simple form

Answer 2

Answer:

common denominator, 13/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Alter

Change both fractions so they have the same denominator

add

8/20 + 5/20 = 13/20
