\"%282%2F5%2B1%2F2%29%2F%283%2F5%29\" Find common denomiator to the top part of the equation. This case it is 10.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we take \"%282%2F5%2B1%2F2%29%2F%283%2F5%29\" = \"%284%2F10%2B5%2F10%29%2F%283%2F5%29\" = \"%289%2F10%29%2F%283%2F5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal of theat fraction so this \"%289%2F10%29%2F%283%2F5%29\" = \"%289%2F10%29%2A%285%2F3%29\" = \"%2845%2F30%29\" Divide top and bottom by 15 and we get \"%283%2F2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer = \"%283%2F2%29\"
