How much money is 1/2 of a dollor plus 5/10 of a dollor?
That'd be a half plus a half once you reduce: .5 + .5 = ?
1/2= .50 dollars
5/10=.50 dollars
add them
thanks
I think Bob Pursley means 1/2 = 50 cents ($.50) and 5/10 also means 50 cents ($.50).
6/10
To determine the total amount of money, we need to add 1/2 of a dollar to 5/10 of a dollar. Let's break it down step by step:
1. First, we need to find a common denominator for 1/2 and 5/10. The smallest number that both denominators (2 and 10) divide into evenly is 10.
2. Next, we'll convert 1/2 into a fraction with a denominator of 10. To do this, we multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/2 by 5, which gives us 5/10.
3. Now that both fractions have a denominator of 10, we can add them together. 5/10 + 5/10 equals 10/10.
4. However, 10/10 represents a whole dollar since the numerator and denominator are the same. So, 1/2 of a dollar plus 5/10 of a dollar equals 1 dollar.
Therefore, the total amount of money is 1 dollar.
