Find a common denominator…like 60.
Find the number it takes to get each fraction to the common denominator.
10 * x = 60 —> x = 6
4 * x = 60 —> x = 15
5 * x = 60 —> x = 12
15 * x = 60 —> x = 4
Multiply each fraction by a form of 1.
1/10 * 6/6 = 6/60
1/4 * 15/15 = 15/60
1/5 * 12/12 = 12/60
2/15 * 4/4 = 8/60
Add them together.
6/60 + 15/60 + 12/60 + 8/60 = 41/60
Reduce if possible.
It’s not.
Answer: 41/60
1/10+1/4+1/5+2/15=41/60
Explanation:
L.C.M of 10,4,5 and 15 is 60
So
1*6/10*6+1*15/4*15+1*12/5*12+2*4/15*4 = 6/60+15/60+12/60+8/60= 41/60 answer.
