Fill in the blanks using appropriate fractions:

$\frac{7}{10}+\frac{3}{10}=\_\_\_$

Answer 1

• Step 1: As these are the like fractions, add the numerators and write the sum over the common denominator.

$\frac{7}{10}+\frac{3}{10}=\frac{7+3}{10}=\frac{10}{10}$

• Step 2: Divide the numerator and denominator by the common factor $10$.

$\frac{10÷10}{10÷10}=\frac{1}{1}=1$

• Hence, the simplest form of $\frac{10}{10}$ is $1$.
