Add the following fractions: 1/3 + 7/10

1 answer

To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 30, which is the least common multiple of 3 and 10.

Converting 1/3 to have a denominator of 30:
(1/3) * (10/10) = 10/30

Converting 7/10 to have a denominator of 30:
(7/10) * (3/3) = 21/30

Now that both fractions have a common denominator of 30, we can add them:

10/30 + 21/30 = 31/30

Therefore, the sum of 1/3 and 7/10 is 31/30.
