Step-by-Step Solution: 2/22 + 4/5
Step 1
Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
The denominators 22 and 5 are coprime (they share no common factors other than 1). Therefore, their Least Common Denominator (LCD) is simply their direct product: 22 ร 5 = 110.
LCD(22, 5) = 110
Step 2
Convert to Equivalent Fractions with Common Denominator 110
Multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/22 by 5, and multiply the numerator and denominator of 4/5 by 22 so both fractions share the common base 110.
2 ร 5/22 ร 5 = 10/110 and 4 ร 22/5 ร 22 = 88/110
Step 3
Add the Numerators
Now add the numerators (10 + 88 = 98) and keep the common denominator 110 unchanged.
10 + 88/110 = 98/110
Step 4
Simplify the Fraction to Lowest Terms
Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of 98 and 110, which is 2. Divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.
98 รท 2/110 รท 2 = 49/55
Step 5
Decimal & Percentage Representation
