Solve the Fraction Addition: 2/10 + 1/3 Step by Step

Solve the following exercise:

$\frac{2}{10}+\frac{1}{3}=$

Let's try to find the least common denominator between 10 and 3

To find the least common denominator, we need to find a number that is divisible by both 10 and 3

In this case, the common denominator is 30

Now we'll multiply each fraction by the appropriate number to reach the denominator 30

We'll multiply the first fraction by 3

We'll multiply the second fraction by 10

$\frac{2\times3}{10\times3}+\frac{1\times10}{3\times10}=\frac{6}{30}+\frac{10}{30}$

Now we'll combine and get:

$\frac{6+10}{30}=\frac{16}{30}$
