What is one half plus two tenths?

Answer 1

To add one half (1/2) and two tenths (2/10), we need to find a common denominator, which in this case is 10. We can rewrite one half as five tenths (5/10) and add it to two tenths to get seven tenths (7/10). Therefore, one half plus two tenths is equal to seven tenths (7/10).

Answer 2

1/2 + 2/10 = 7/10

to figure this out we turned 1/2 into 5/10 by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by 5

now that the denominator is the same in each half of the problem we just add the numerators.
