Add the following fractions: 3/20 + 1/2

Answer 1

To add fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 20.

3/20 + 1/2

To make the denominators the same, we can rewrite 1/2 as 10/20:

3/20 + 10/20

Now the denominators are the same, so we can simply add the numerators:

(3 + 10)/20

Simplifying the numerator gives us:

13/20

Therefore, 3/20 + 1/2 = 13/20.
