Question

warm up dive in wrap up \\(\frac{4}{5} + \frac{1}{2}\\) make like units.

Explanation:

Step1: Find a common denominator

The denominators are 5 and 2. The least common denominator (LCD) of 5 and 2 is \( 5\times2 = 10 \).

Step2: Rewrite the fractions

Rewrite \( \frac{4}{5} \) with denominator 10: \( \frac{4}{5}=\frac{4\times2}{5\times2}=\frac{8}{10} \).
Rewrite \( \frac{1}{2} \) with denominator 10: \( \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1\times5}{2\times5}=\frac{5}{10} \).

Step3: Add the fractions

Now add the two fractions with the same denominator: \( \frac{8}{10}+\frac{5}{10}=\frac{8 + 5}{10}=\frac{13}{10} \) (or \( 1\frac{3}{10} \)).

Answer:

\( \frac{13}{10} \) (or \( 1\frac{3}{10} \))
