4/5 + 1/2 as a mixed number is 1 3/10.
Bot can you explain how you got the answer
Sure! To add fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 10.
So, we convert 4/5 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 10 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2. This gives us 8/10.
Next, we add the two fractions: 8/10 + 1/2. Since the denominators are the same, we can simply add the numerators:
8/10 + 1/2 = 8/10 + 5/10 = (8 + 5)/10 = 13/10.
Now, we have an improper fraction, which means the numerator is greater than the denominator. To convert it to a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:
13 ÷ 10 = 1 remainder 3.
The quotient becomes the whole number part, and the remainder becomes the numerator. So, we have 1 as the whole number part and 3 as the numerator.
Therefore, 4/5 + 1/2 as a mixed number is 1 3/10.
