Exercise 4 Page 256

When adding or subtracting fractions, they should have the same denominator. In this exercise, we have two fractions with different denominators. 9/10 + 3/5Since 10 is a multiple of 5, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 35 by 2 to create a common denominator.

9/10+3/5
