8 and 7/10 plus 5 and 1/5 = 139/10 or 13.9
five and six tenths = 56/10 twenty seven fifths = 27/5 = 54/10 so answer is yes five and six tenths is greater by two tenths or one fifth
seven and five tenths
seven hundred sixteen thousand, thirty-eight and five tenths.
7/10 - 1/5 = 7/10 - 2/10 = 5/10 = 1/2
Eight and five tenths.
eight and five tenths
Yes, five ones and eight tenths is less than fifty-eight tenths. Five ones is equal to 5, and eight tenths is 0.8, so together they equal 5.8. Fifty-eight tenths is equivalent to 5.8 as well, but since the question asks if it is less, the answer is no. Therefore, five ones and eight tenths is not less than fifty-eight tenths; they are equal.
You first need to break the question down into fractions that can be added together, thus:-one half = five tenthsone fifth = two tenthsthen do the additionfive tenths + two tenths = seven tenthsSolving 1/2 + 1/5...1/2 = 5/101/5 = 2/105/10 + 2/10 = 7/10
A fifth is considerably smaller than a half. A half is also equal to five tenths, which compares to a fifth which is two tenths. Five is larger than two.
eight and five tenths
