Add fractions and decimals practice
Sure! Here are some practice questions for adding fractions and decimals:
1. Simplify the fraction: 3/4 + 1/2
2. Evaluate the decimal: 2.5 + 1.75
3. Simplify the fraction: 1/3 + 2/5
4. Evaluate the decimal: 0.6 + 0.9
5. Simplify the fraction: 5/6 + 2/9
6. Evaluate the decimal: 3.25 + 1.5
7. Simplify the fraction: 2/7 + 3/5
8. Evaluate the decimal: 0.8 + 0.6
9. Simplify the fraction: 4/9 + 1/3
10. Evaluate the decimal: 5.5 + 2.25
Remember to simplify the fractions by finding a common denominator and then adding the numerators together. And for decimals, simply add the numbers together as you normally would.

Sure! Here's a step-by-step guide to practice adding fractions and decimals:
1. Adding fractions:
- Step 1: Make sure the denominators are the same. If they are different, find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators and adjust the fractions accordingly.
- Step 2: Add the numerators of the fractions together.
- Step 3: Keep the denominator the same, and simplify the fraction if necessary.
2. Adding decimals:
- Step 1: Align the decimal points of the numbers.
- Step 2: Add the numbers together, starting from the rightmost column.
- Step 3: Carry over any values greater than or equal to 10 to the next column.
- Step 4: If necessary, add zeros to the left of the decimal point to maintain alignment.
- Step 5: Simplify the decimal if necessary.
Now, let's practice with some examples!
Example 1: Adding Fractions:
2/5 + 3/5
- Step 1: The denominators are already the same.
- Step 2: Add the numerators: 2 + 3 = 5
- Step 3: The denominator remains the same: 5/5
- Answer: 5/5, which simplifies to 1.
Example 2: Adding Fractions with Different Denominators:
1/4 + 3/8
- Step 1: Find the LCM of 4 and 8, which is 8. Adjust the fractions:
1/4 becomes 2/8 (multiplied numerator and denominator by 2)
3/8 remains the same.
- Step 2: Add the numerators: 2 + 3 = 5
- Step 3: The denominator remains the same: 5/8
- Answer: 5/8.
Example 3: Adding Decimals:
2.35 + 1.7
- Step 1: Align the decimals: 2.35 + 1.70
- Step 2: Add the numbers: 5 + 3 = 8, carry over 1 to the leftmost column.
3 + 7 + 1 (carried over) = 11
2 + 1 = 3
- Step 3: Simplify the decimal: 3.05
- Answer: 3.05.
