what's the answer
Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is 13 + 7/10 = 131/10 or as a mixed number, 13 and 1/10.
To add the fractions 13 and 7/10, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the mixed number 13 to an improper fraction.
13 can be rewritten as 13/1.
Step 2: Find the least common denominator (LCD) of the fractions.
The denominators are 1 and 10. The least common multiple of 1 and 10 is 10.
Step 3: Adjust the fractions to have the same denominator.
To do this, multiply the numerator and denominator of 13/1 by 10:
(13/1) * (10/10) = 130/10
Step 4: Add the fractions.
130/10 + 7/10 = (130 + 7)/10 = 137/10
So, the sum of 13 and 7/10 is 137/10.
To add fractions, you need to make sure they have the same denominator. In this case, the first fraction is already in its simplest form, so we just need to convert the second fraction to have a denominator of 30:
To convert 7/10 to have a denominator of 30, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 3:
7/10 x 3/3 = 21/30
Now that both fractions have a denominator of 30, you can add the numerators:
13 + 21 = 34
The result is 34/30. However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2:
34/30 ÷ 2/2 = 17/15
So, the sum of 13 and 7/10 is 17/15.
