Given:
Since the denominators are common (the same), we can add the numerators:
Upon inspection, the GCF(82, 100) = 2In Simplest Form,
54/100
+ 28/100
Since the denominators are common (the same), we can add the numerators:
54/100
+ 28/100
= 54 + 28/100
= 82/100
However, 82/100
is NOT in Simplest Form since the Greatest Common Factor of 82 and 100 does not equal 1, GCF(82, 100) ≠ 1Upon inspection, the GCF(82, 100) = 2In Simplest Form,
82/100
= 82 ÷ 2/100 ÷ 2
= 41/50
(1 is the only factor common to 41 and 50)Therefore, the Sum of 54/100
and 28/100
is equal to 41/50
in Simplest Form: 54/100
+ 28/100
= 41/50
