Luis had 8/10 meter of wood for the frame thqt he is doing. His father gave him 1/4 meter more.How many meters of wood that he have now?
8/10 + 1/4 = 16/20 + 5/20 = 21/20
= 1 1/20
8/10+1/4
To find out how many meters of wood Luis has now, we need to add the amount of wood he initially had (8/10 meter) to the amount his father gave him (1/4 meter).
Step 1: Convert 8/10 to a common denominator with 1/4.
Since the denominators are 10 and 4, the least common multiple (LCM) is 20.
8/10 = (8/10) * (2/2) = 16/20
Step 2: Add the two fractions together.
16/20 + 1/4 = (16/20) + (5/20) = 21/20
So, Luis now has 21/20 meter of wood for his frame.
To find out how many meters of wood Luis has now, we need to add the amount of wood he had before with the amount his father gave him.
Luis had 8/10 meter of wood, and his father gave him an additional 1/4 meter.
To add these fractions, we need to make sure they have a common denominator. In this case, we can use 10 as our common denominator.
Converting both fractions to have a denominator of 10:
8/10 meter is equivalent to 8/10 x 10/10 = 80/100 meter
1/4 meter is equivalent to 1/4 x 2.5/2.5 = 2.5/10 meter
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them together:
80/100 meter + 2.5/10 meter = 82.5/100 meter
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 5:
82.5/100 meter = (82.5 ÷ 5) / (100 ÷ 5) = 16.5/20 meter
So, Luis now has 16.5/20 meter of wood.
