Question

Answer 1

Answer:

= 11/5 = 2 1/5 = 2.2

Step-by-step explanation:

1 add +4/5=7/5+4/5=7+4/5=11/5

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(5, 5) = 5. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 5 × 5 = 25. In the following intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In other words - seven fifths plus four fifths = eleven fifths.
