Question 1027520
.
Solve 1/2+2/5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
"Solve" is incorrect term to describe what you really want.

You want to "calculate".

To calculate it, write the sum of the two fractions with the common denominators and then add the numerators, as follows:

{{{1/2 + 1/5}}} = {{{5/10 + 2/10}}} = {{{(5+2)/10}}} = {{{7/10}}}.
