Add the following fractions 1/50 + 3/5

Answer 1

To add these fractions, we need to have the same denominator.

The first fraction, 1/50, already has a denominator of 50.

To convert the second fraction, 3/5, to have a denominator of 50, we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 10:

(3/5) * (10/10) = 30/50

Now we have the same denominator for both fractions: 50.

Adding the fractions:

1/50 + 30/50 = (1 + 30)/50 = 31/50
