five-tenths = 1/2 therefore, three-sixths = five-tenths
8/10 plus 2/6 = 17/15 or 1 and 2/15
nine tenths
2/5 + 3/10 Make the denominator the same. 4/10 + 3/10 Add the numerator. 7/10
One half is three sixths and one-third is two sixths. 3+2=5
Three sixths (1/2) is larger.
Four sixths. ^^ You see, 6 is the common denominator, so, you work with one half. Now, you have to make 6 the denominator, right? So, you multiply 2 by 3 and 1 also by three, and then you have to add three sixths and one sixths and you get four sixths.
16 1/6
The sum of 3/10 and 1/2 is 4/5.
One half is five tenths. Add three tenths, gives eight tenths. Simplify that by dividing the two values by their highest common factor, which is 2. That gives you four fifths.
3/10 + 1/5 = 1/2
3 2/10 + 2 1/5 + 2 3/5 = 8
