5 and 2/3
First we convert them into similar units, giving us 10 fifteenths and 12 fifteenths. Together that is 22 fifteenths or 1 and 7 fifteenths.
One-third is the same as five-fifteenths. Two-fifths is the same as six-fifteenths. Five-fifteenths plus six-fifteenths is eleven-fifteenths. One, or fifteen-fifteenths, minus eleven-fifteenths is four-fifteenths.
four fifths
three fifteenths
Three and four-fifths
8/15, 8 fifteenths
First we convert them into similar units, giving us 10 fifteenths and 12 fifteenths. Together that is 22 fifteenths or 1 and 7 fifteenths.
One-third is the same as five-fifteenths. Two-fifths is the same as six-fifteenths. Five-fifteenths plus six-fifteenths is eleven-fifteenths. One, or fifteen-fifteenths, minus eleven-fifteenths is four-fifteenths.
Two fifths is six fifteenths. Eleven fifteenths minus six fifteenths is five fifteenths, which is also one third.
7/15 or seven fifteenths
41.8 - 6.4 = 35.4 = 35 and 2/5
four fifths
Converting to fifteenths, it is 5 fifteenths - 6 fifteenths, which gives minus one fifteenth.
four fifths
three fifteenths
Three and four-fifths
2/3 + 4/5 The common denominator is 3 x 5 = 15 To complete the addition you MUST change the numerators (top) to the equivalent values. 2/3 = 2(5) / 3(5) = 10/15 4/5 = 4(3) /5(3) = 12/10 Hence 2/3 + 4/5 = 10/15 + 12/15 Add the numerators 22/15 Convert back to a mixed number. 1 7/15 The answer!!!!!
