What is 1/5 +2/4?the simplest form

7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the smallest possible denominator between the two fractions. The smallest one is 20.

Now, both denominators need to become 20. To get the 5 in 1/5 to become 20, it needs to be multiplied by 4. Whatever you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator.

1 x 4 = 4

The first fraction is now 4/20.

To get the 4 in 2/4 to become 20, you must multiply it by 5. Whatever you do to the denominator, you must do to the numerator.

2 x 5 = 10

The second fraction is now 10/20.

Add the fractions. Keep the denominators the same and add the numerators.

4/20 + 10/20 = 14/20

Simplify by dividing both numbers by 2
