What is 9/10 plus 3/5 as a fraction?
step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 9/10
Fraction B: 3/5
What to be found?
9/10+3/5 = ?
Find what's the sum of 9/10 and 3/5.
step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 9/10 and 3/5 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 9/10 and 3/5 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 10 and 5 is 10.
step 4 Write the fractions 9/10 and 3/5 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=9/10+3/5
=(9 x 10)/(10 x 10)+(3 x 10)/(5 x 10)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=9/10+6/10
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/10 x (9/1+6/1)
=1/10 x (9 + 6)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/10 x 15
= 15/10
=3/2
9/10+3/5=3/2
