Solve (1/5)^2+(1/10)

$$( \frac { 1 } { 5 } ) ^ { 2 } + ( \frac { 1 } { 10 } )$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{7}{50}=0.14$$

Solution Steps

Calculate \frac{1}{5} to the power of 2 and get \frac{1}{25}.

$$\frac{1}{25}+\frac{1}{10}$$

Least common multiple of 25 and 10 is 50. Convert \frac{1}{25} and \frac{1}{10} to fractions with denominator 50.

$$\frac{2}{50}+\frac{5}{50}$$

Since \frac{2}{50} and \frac{5}{50} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{2+5}{50}$$

Add 2 and 5 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{50}$$

Factor

$$\frac{7}{2 \cdot 5 ^ {2}} = 0.14$$
