Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

Multiply each numerator by the same amount needed to multiply its

corresponding denominator to turn it into the LCM

10

For

\frac{3}{5} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \cdot 2}{5 \cdot 2} = \frac{6}{10}

For

\frac{1}{2} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

5

\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \cdot 5}{2 \cdot 5} = \frac{5}{10}

= \frac{6}{10} + \frac{5}{10}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{c} + \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a + b}{c}

= \frac{6 + 5}{10}

Add the numbers:

6 + 5 = 11

= \frac{11}{10}
