Start with finding a common denominator for the fractions 3/20 and 1/2. The common denominator is 20 since it is a multiple of both 20 and 2.
Now, we can rewrite the fractions with the common denominator:
3/20 = 3/20 (since the denominator is already 20)
1/2 = 10/20 (multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/2 by 10 to get the equivalent fraction with a denominator of 20)
Now, we can add the fractions:
3/20 + 10/20 = 13/20
So the sum of the fractions 3/20 and 1/2 is 13/20.
