I assume you want to figure out which one is bigger.
The way you solve this is you have to find the least common denominator, or LCD. You find that by taking your largest denominator, 10, and seeing if the other denominator, 5, can be multiplied into it. Turns out 10 is a multiple of 5. So multiply your second fraction by 2/2 and you get 2/10.
3/10 is bigger than 2/10, so 3/10 is bigger than 1/5.

Is one fifth less than three tenths?
Yes, it is. To solve it: The numerator is the number on top. In this case you have a 1 and a 3 The denominator is the number on the bottom. In this case you have a 5 and a 10 You want the denominators to be equal. To do this, find the lowest number that both divide into (in this case 10, 10/5 = 2 and 10/10 = 1) To get the denominator of the 1/5th fraction to equal 10, you multiply (x) by 2. This will give you 10, however whatever you do to the top, you have to do to the bottom - i.e. you times the 5 by two (the denominator), you need to times the 1 by two (the numerator) this gives you 2/10ths = 1/5th. The second one is easier = to make 10 = 10, you only have to times by 1, so nothing changes. This means that you are seeing if 2/10ths is less than 3/10ths. As you have 1 less tenth, it is obvious that it is less. So 1/5th (or 2/10ths) is less than 3/10ths.
What does three fourths plus nine tenths equal?
It is easier to add two fractions together if you convertb them to the same values. You can convert both of these fractions to 20ths quite easily. 3/4 is equal to 15/20ths and 9/10ths is equal to 18/20ths, Simply add them together to find 15/20 + 19/20 = 34/20 now reduce this to a proper fraction... 1 and 14/20ths which can be simplfied to 1 and 7/10ths.
What is 5 10ths in simplest form?
5/10 in simplest form = 1/2
Is 1 to 1 least or greatest on a list of fractions?
Greatest on a list of proper fractions, least on a list of improper fractions.
What is 50 hundredths equals tenths?
50/100ths = 5/10ths or 1/25 tenths
