| When denominators are the same, add the numerators and keep the denominator. Then simplify. |
| The fractions already have the same denominator (20). Add the numerators. | ||
| Sum | = | \(\dfrac{11}{20} + \dfrac{11}{20} = \dfrac{22}{20}\) |
| Simplify: divide numerator and denominator by their GCD. GCD(22, 20) = 2. | ||
| Simplified | = | \(\dfrac{22 \div 2}{20 \div 2} = \dfrac{11}{10}\) |
| Convert to a mixed number: 11/10 = 1 whole and 1/10. | ||
| As mixed number | = | \(1\dfrac{1}{10}\) |
