Solve 3/2+1/5+1/10

$$\frac { 3 } { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 5 } + \frac { 1 } { 10 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{9}{5}=1.8$$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 2 and 5 is 10. Convert \frac{3}{2} and \frac{1}{5} to fractions with denominator 10.

$$\frac{15}{10}+\frac{2}{10}+\frac{1}{10}$$

Since \frac{15}{10} and \frac{2}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{15+2}{10}+\frac{1}{10}$$

Add 15 and 2 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{10}+\frac{1}{10}$$

Since \frac{17}{10} and \frac{1}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{17+1}{10}$$

Add 17 and 1 to get 18.

$$\frac{18}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{18}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{9}{5}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 ^ {2}}{5} = 1\frac{4}{5} = 1.8$$
