QUESTION:
1. 3/5 + 1/5 - 2/5 = ?
ANSWER:
2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5 + 1/5 = ?
The two fractions have like denominators so you can add the numerators.
Then:
3 + 1
5 = 4/5
This fraction cannot be reduced.
So, 3/5 + 1/5 = 4/5
4/5 - 2/5 = ?
The two fractions have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.
Then:
4 − 2
5 = 2/5
This fraction cannot be reduced.
So,
4/5 − 2/5 = 2/5
Therefore, 3/5 + 1/5 - 2/5 = 2/5
