How to write 1/2 + 1/5 as a fraction?

Fractions are a very important topic in mathematics. They form an integral part of algebra. All the fundamental operations that can be performed over integers can be performed over fractions as well. Now let's solve a problem related to fractions.

Answer: 1/2 + 1/5 can be represented as 7/10 as a fraction after addition.

Let's understand in detail.

Explanation:

To solve the given problem, we use the common denominator property of fractions.

Hence, the LCM of 2 and 5 is 10.

So, 1/2 + 1/5 = (1 × 5) / (2 × 5)  + (1 × 2) / (5 × 2)

= 5/10 + 2/10 

= 7/10.

Hence, 1/2 + 1/5 can be represented as 7/10 as a fraction after addition.
