Q. Evaluate the expression shown below and write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.\newline1120+18 \frac{11}{20}+\frac{1}{8} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify Common Denominator: Identify a common denominator for the fractions (1120)(\frac{11}{20}) and (18)(\frac{1}{8}). The least common denominator (LCD) for 2020 and 88 is 4040.
  2. Convert to Equivalent Fractions: Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the common denominator of 4040. \newline(1120)\left(\frac{11}{20}\right) becomes (11×220×2)=(2240)\left(\frac{11\times2}{20\times2}\right) = \left(\frac{22}{40}\right) \newline(18)\left(\frac{1}{8}\right) becomes (1×58×5)=(540)\left(\frac{1\times5}{8\times5}\right) = \left(\frac{5}{40}\right)
  3. Add Fractions: Add the fractions with the common denominator.\newline(2240)+(540)=(22+540)=(2740)(\frac{22}{40}) + (\frac{5}{40}) = (\frac{22 + 5}{40}) = (\frac{27}{40})
  4. Check for Simplification: Check if the resulting fraction can be simplified.\newlineThe fraction (2740)(\frac{27}{40}) is already in its simplest form because 2727 and 4040 have no common factors other than 11.
