the smaller fraction is 4/7.
what is the sum of the two fractions?

4 answers

x-y = 1/10
y = 4/7

x - 4/7 = 1/20
x = 4/7 + 1/10 = ?
X-4/7=1/10
x=47/70

47/70+4/7=87/70=1 17/70
The difference between two fractions is 1/10.
The smaller fraction is 4/7.
What is the sum of the two fractions?
Let's assume the larger fraction is x. We know that the difference between the two fractions is 1/10, which gives us the equation:

x - 4/7 = 1/10

We can solve for x by adding 4/7 to both sides:

x = 4/7 + 1/10

We need a common denominator to add these fractions together, which is 70:

x = 40/70 + 7/70

x = 47/70

Now we can find the sum of the two fractions by adding x and 4/7 together:

47/70 + 4/7

We need a common denominator of 70 to add these fractions together:

47/70 + 40/70

87/70

So the sum of the two fractions is 1 17/70.
