ryan practiced piano for 3/10 of an hour and soccor for 1/2 an hour. in simplest form, how long did he practiced altoghter

First convert 1/2 to a denominator (bottom number) of 10, making it 5/10. Now add. 3+5=8

8/10- answer

9/10

To find out how long Ryan practiced piano and soccer combined, you need to add the two amounts of time together.

Ryan practiced piano for 3/10 of an hour and soccer for 1/2 an hour.

To add these fractions together, you need to make sure they have a common denominator.

The prime factors of 10 are 2 and 5, while the prime factors of 2 are only 2.

Multiplying the denominator (10) of the first fraction (3/10) by 2 will give us 20 as the common denominator.

Therefore, the equivalent fraction of 3/10 with a common denominator of 20 is 6/20.

Now you can add the two fractions together:

6/20 + 1/2

Since the denominators are the same, you just need to add the numerators:

6 + 10 = 16

Therefore, Ryan practiced piano and soccer for a total of 16/20 of an hour.

To simplify this fraction, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4:

16 ÷ 4 = 4
20 ÷ 4 = 5

So, in simplest form, Ryan practiced piano and soccer for 4/5 of an hour.

3/10 + 5/10 = 8/10 can you do the rest? 1/2 of 10 is 5, so 5/10..... it comes to 8/10 then 8 4

- = -
10 5
