Is this 3/5 and 7/10?

OpenStudy (acannell):

Yup.

OpenStudy (maddielb):

Well we know C is out because the LCD is 10. So that actually rules out both C and D

OpenStudy (acannell):

Okay. Nice.

OpenStudy (acannell):

So its A?

OpenStudy (maddielb):

And then making both denominators would be 10 making the first fraction 6/10 and then add that to to 7/10 to get 13/10. That will not make a whole number, it would make a mixed number. So yes it would be A

OpenStudy (acannell):

Thank you!!!
