What is one tenth plus three fifths?

Answer 1

To add fractions, the denominators (bottom numbers) must be equal; so first convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then the numerators (top numbers) are added and the resulting fraction simplified:

3/5 = (3×2)/(5) = 6/10

1/10 =1/10

→ 3/5 + 1/10 = 6/10 + 1/10 = (6+1)/10 = 7/10

Answer 2

Three tenths = 0.3, and one fifth = 0.2, so 0.3 + 0.2 equals 0.5 or one half.

Answer 3

1/10 + 3/5 = 7/10, or seven tenths.

Answer 4

It is: 1/10 plus 3/5 = 7/10
