Jerom's house OR Mario's house. or is it Jerom's house AND Mario's house.
jerom and mori house @iGreen
You have to make the two fractions the same. The easiest way to do this is by multiplying 2 * 5. now you have 5/10 at Jerom's house, and 4/10 at Mario's house.
Okay, just add the fractions. \(\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{2}{5}\) Find the common denominator, in this case it's 10. So let's change the fractions to fractions with denominators of 10. \(\dfrac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5} + \dfrac{2 \times 2}{5 \times 2}\) \(\dfrac{5}{10} + \dfrac{4}{10}\) Now just add the two fractions. \(\dfrac{5 + 4}{10}\) Can you add 5 + 4?

Yep, so your answer is \(\dfrac{9}{10}\).
thanks i green
