Answer:
The LCM of 5, 4, and 10 is 20 so we can rewrite this expression as:
8/20 + 5/20 + 14/20 = (8 + 5 + 14) / 20 = 27 / 20 = [tex]1\frac{7}{20}[/tex]
Adding all the three fractions ,
Simplest form is
[tex]1\frac{7}{20}[/tex]
Given :
[tex]\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{4} +\frac{7}{10}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To add all the fractions , the denominators should be same
Lets find out LCD of 5,4 and 10
[tex]5= 1,5\\4=2,2\\10=5,2\\LCD=5\cdot 2\cdot 2=20[/tex]
Least common denominator = 20
Multiply the first fraction by 4 and second fraction by5 and third fraction by 2 to get same LCD 20
[tex]\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{7}{10}\\\frac{8}{20}+\frac{5}{20}+\frac{14}{20}\\\\\frac{8+5+14}{20}\\\frac{27}{20}[/tex]
We cannot simplify the fraction further . So we write it in mixed form
[tex]1\frac{7}{20}[/tex]
