Antonio completed the right column of the table to help him find the sum of 2/ and 1/5. In which step did his first error occur?
Step ( )

Antonio's first error occurred in First step where he added the denominators of both fractions instead of finding a common denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to add or subtract two fractions, a common denominator is found and then the denominators of both fractions are made equal to the common denominator.

The given fractions are:

The common denominator is the number which is the multiple off denominators of both fractions involved.

Antonio made his first error in first step. Instead of finding a common multiple denominator, he add the denominator of both fractions which is wrong.

The correct method is:

Hence,

Antonio's first error occurred in First step where he added the denominators of both fractions instead of finding a common denominator.

step-by-step explanation:

x^(1/6) · x^(1/6) · x^(1/6)   ·x^(1/6) = x^(4/6)   since we add the exponents

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3

the simplified form is x^(2/3)
