Mathematical PRACTICE Use Number Sense Edison delivers \( \frac{1}{5} \) of the newspapers in the neighborhood, and Anita delivers \( \frac{1}{2} \) of them. Together, Edison and Anita deliver what fraction of the newpapers?

Edison delivers \( \frac{1}{5} \) of the newspapers, while Anita delivers \( \frac{1}{2} \). To find out what fraction they deliver together, you can add these two fractions. First, convert \( \frac{1}{2} \) to have a common denominator with \( \frac{1}{5} \). The common denominator is 10, which makes \( \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{10} \) and \( \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{10} \). Adding these gives \( \frac{2}{10} + \frac{5}{10} = \frac{7}{10} \). So, together, Edison and Anita deliver \( \frac{7}{10} \) of the newspapers! If you're feeling brave, try visualizing this with a pie chart! It makes it clear how much of the whole each person delivers, painting a colorful picture of \( \frac{7}{10} \) of newspapers being distributed. The more you visualize, the easier it is to grasp these concepts!
