Problem

$\frac{1}{10}+\frac{2}{20}+\frac{3}{30} =$

$\text{(A)}\ .1 \qquad \text{(B)}\ .123 \qquad \text{(C)}\ .2 \qquad \text{(D)}\ .3 \qquad \text{(E)}\ .6$

Solution

Each of the fractions simplify to $\frac{1}{10}$ , so this sum is $\begin{align*} \frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10} &= \frac{3}{10} \\ &= .3 \rightarrow \boxed{\text{D}} \end{align*}$
