Question

add of fraction. 5 1/5 + 2 1/7​

Answer 1

Given:

$5\frac{1}{5}+2\frac{1}{7}$

First solve the 5 1/5 fraction and than 2 1/2 fraction

$=\frac{5\times5 + 1}{5} + \frac{2\times7+1}{7}$

$=\frac{25+1}{5} +\frac{14+1}{7}$

$=\frac{26}{5}+\frac{15}{7}$

And solve the this fraction and we get the answer

$=\frac{(26\times7) + ( 15\times5)}{5\times7}$

$=\frac{182+75}{35}$

$=\frac{257}{35} \\=7.34$

Hence the answer is 7.34 of the given fraction

Answer 2

Given that:-

$5\times \frac{1}{5}+2\times\frac{1}{7}$

As we have to simplify the add expression,

First, multiply the fractions,

$=>\frac{5\times1}{5} +2\times \frac{1}{7}$

$=>\frac{5}{5} +2\times\frac{1}{7}$

Now, find the greatest common factor of the numerator and the denominator,

$=>\frac{1\times5}{1\times 5} +2\times\frac{1}{7}$

Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor,

$=>1+2\times\frac{1}{7}$

Multiply the fractions,

$=>1+\frac{2\times1}{7}\\=>1+\frac{2}{7}$

By converting the integer into a fraction we get,

$=>\frac{7}{7}+\frac{2}{7}$

Adding the above fractions,

$=>\frac{7+2}{7}$

$=>\frac{9}{7}$
