The first step is to make the fractions have a common denominator. It can be achieved by finding the LCM (Lowest common multiple) of the fractions denominators

From the question,

The given expression is 4/5 + 1/2

This can be written properly as

[tex]\frac{4}{5}+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

In solving the problem, the first step is to make the fractions have a common denominator. This can be achieved by finding the LCM (Lowest common multiple) of their denominators (that is, 5 and 2)

The LCM of 5 and 2 is 10

If we were to solve the equation, we will get

[tex]\frac{4}{5}+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{2(4) + 5(1)}{10}[/tex]

Hence, the first step is to make the fractions have a common denominator. It can be achieved by finding the LCM (Lowest common multiple) of the fractions denominators.
