Thanks!

Answer 4

Add the whole numbers first
3+15+1/10

Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 15,110
Method 1: By Listing Multiples
List out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one.
5 : 5,10
10 : 10
Therefore, the LCD is 10
Method 2: By Prime Factors
List all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes.
5 : 5
10 : 2,5
Therefore, the LCD is 2×5=10
Make the denominators the same as the LCD
3+ 1×2 /5×2+1 /10

Simplify. Denominators are now the same
3+/210+1/10

Join the denominators
3 +2+1/10

Simplify
3 3/10 <---- is what you would get after you simplify
