Answer: [tex]5\frac{9}{10}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{59}{10}[/tex] or 5.9
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there, if you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments below.
Step 1: Add the whole numbers first.
5 + [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]
Step 2: Find the Least Common Denominator of [tex]\frac{1}{2} , \frac{2}{5} .[/tex] In simpler words, find the Least Common Multiple of 2, 5.
LCD = 10
Step 3: Have it so the denominators the same as the LCD.
5 + [tex]\frac{1 * 5}{2 * 5}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2 * 2}{5 * 2}[/tex]
Step 4: Then, simplify. Now the denominators are all the same.
5 + [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{4}{10}[/tex]
Step 5: Join all the denominators.
5 + [tex]\frac{5 + 4}{10}[/tex]
Step 6: Simplify.
Final Answer: [tex]5\frac{9}{10}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{59}{10}[/tex] or 5.9
