Add Fractions & Decimals Practice
Sure, here are some practice questions to help you add fractions and decimals:
1. Add: 1/2 + 3/4
2. Add: 5/6 + 2/3
3. Add: 2/7 + 3/7
4. Add: 1.25 + 2.5
5. Add: 0.75 + 0.35
6. Add: 3/8 + 5/8
7. Add: 2.3 + 4.7
8. Add: 0.6 + 0.9
9. Add: 3/5 + 4/5
10. Add: 2.75 + 1.5
Remember to simplify any fractions if possible.
Sure! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add fractions:
Step 1: Make sure the denominators (the bottom numbers) are the same for both fractions. If they're not the same, find the least common denominator (LCD) by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators.
Step 2: Once you have the same denominators, add the numerators (the top numbers) together.
Step 3: Keep the same denominator for the answer.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction if necessary by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.
For example, let's add 3/4 and 2/5:
Step 1: The common denominator for 4 and 5 is 20.
Step 2: Rewrite 3/4 as 15/20 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 5) and 2/5 as 8/20 (multiply the numerator and denominator by 4).
Step 3: Add the numerators: 15 + 8 = 23.
Step 4: The denominator remains 20, so the answer is 23/20.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add decimals:
Step 1: Align the decimal points of the numbers you want to add.
Step 2: Add the numbers as you would normally.
Step 3: Make sure the decimal point is in the correct location in the sum.
For example, let's add 2.35 and 1.72:
Step 1: Align the decimal points: 2.35 and 1.72.
Step 2: Add the numbers: 2.35 + 1.72 = 4.07.
Step 3: The decimal point stays in the same location in the sum, so the answer is 4.07.
