What is the sum of4/10 and 40/100
40/100 = 4/10
4/10 + 4/10 = 8/10 = 4/5
To find the sum of 4/10 and 40/100, we need to first ensure that the fractions have a common denominator.
The denominators of 4/10 and 40/100 are already multiples of each other, as 10 is equal to 100/10. So, we can add the fractions:
4/10 + 40/100
Next, we need to make the denominators of both fractions the same. To do this, we can multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction (4/10) by 10, and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction (40/100) by 1:
(4/10)*(10/10) + (40/100)*(1/1)
Simplifying, we get:
40/100 + 40/100
Now that the fractions have a common denominator, we can simply add the numerators:
40 + 40 = 80
The sum of 4/10 and 40/100 is 80/100. However, to simplify the fraction, we notice that both the numerator and denominator can be divided by 20:
80/100 = (80/20)/(100/20) = 4/5
So, the simplified sum is 4/5.
