5/10+3/100
Emma incorrectly gave us sum as 8/100 Explain Emma’s mistake and use the model to correct her workshop the problem in your answer
Emma's mistake was adding the numerators (5+3) to get 8, while keeping the denominators the same. However, when adding fractions, the denominators must always remain the same.
To correct Emma's mistake, we first need to find a common denominator for 10 and 100, which is 100.
5/10 can be written as 50/100 (since 10 multiplied by 10 equals 100)
3/100 remains the same.
So, now we have 50/100 + 3/100 = 53/100.
Therefore, the correct sum of 5/10 + 3/100 is 53/100.
