4. 4 3/5+2 7/10

Answer 1

Answer:

1) 1/3+1/3= 2/3

2) 1/4+0/4= 1/4

3) 5/12+7/16

Make the denominators same by taking up the LCM

= 5×4+7×3/48

= 20+21/48

= 41/48

4) 4 3/5+ 2 7/10

4 3/5= 23/5

2 7/10= 27/10

= 23/5+ 27/10

Make the denominators same by taking up the LCM

= 23×2+27×1 /10

= 46+27 /10

= 73/10

= 7 3/10
