There are two fifths in four tenths.
To compare the sizes of fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 5 and 20 is 20. Converting four fifths to have a denominator of 20, we get 16/20. Comparing 16/20 to 17/20, we see that 17/20 is bigger than 16/20. Therefore, seventeen twentieths is bigger than four fifths.
Expressed as a mixed number in its simplest form, 4/5 + 8/10 = 1 3/5 or one and three fifths. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 1.6.
You first convert them to similar fractions, i.e., to fractions that have the same denominator.* Step one: find a common denominator.* Step two: convert both fractions to equivalent fractions that have that denominator.
seventeen over fifteen because the common denominator of 5 and 3 is 15 think about it like this: 4/5x3, 4x3=12, 5x3=15 1/3x5, 1x5=5, 3x5=15 so you get 12/15+5/15 see how they simplify back? then add the numerators and keep the denominator and you get 17/15 or 1 and 2/15
