QUESTION : Sarita bought 2/5  metre of ribbon and Lalita 3/4  metre of ribbon. What is the total  length of the ribbon they bought?​

EXPLANATION

To calculate, we need to have Equivalent fractions. As in, their Denominators should be equal -

LCM OF 5 and 4 : 20 ( Since both numbers can be divided from 20)

2 x 4 =  8

5 x 4 = 20

3 x 5 = 15

4 x 5 = 20

8/20 + 15/20 = 23/20

MIXED FRACTION :  1   3/20
