Exercise 1 Page 294

To add or subtract fractions, they need to have the same denominator.

7/10

Practice makes perfect

When adding or subtracting fractions, they should have the same denominator. In this exercise, we have two fractions with different denominators. 3/5 + 1/10Since 10 is a multiple of 5, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 35 by 2 to create a common denominator.

3/5+1/10

ExpandFrac

a/b=a * 2/b * 2

3* 2/5* 2+1/10

Multiply

6/10+1/10

Now that we have a common denominator, we can proceed to simplifying the expression.

6/10+1/10
