I'm having a hard time with fractions, what is the sum of 2/5 and 2/4
well first you need to get the same bottom number so the bottom number is 20 and the top will be first fraction top is 8 other fraction is 10 so your answer is 18/20
We will go nice and slow...
to add fractions, you have to have a common denominator.....
that being said....a common denominator of \(\frac{2}{5}\) and \(\frac{2}{4}\) is 20...
So change the fractions...
\(\frac{2}{5} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{8}{20}\)
and
\(\frac{2}{4} * \frac{5}{5} = \frac{10}{20}\)
Now, you can add..
\(\frac{8}{20}+ \frac{10}{20} = \frac{18}{20}\) (\(\frac{9}{10}\) simplified)
Thus, your answer.
