To add/subtract fractions, the denominators (bottom numbers) must be equal; so first convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then the numerators (top numbers) are added/subtracted and the resulting fraction simplified:
1/3 + 3/5 = (1×5)/(3×5) + (3×3)/(5×3)
= 5/15 + 9/15
= (5+9)/15
= 14/15
three fifths is bigger.
One third of three fifths is one fifth.
9/15 + 5/15 = 14/15
(Three of anything) plus (another three of it) = (six of the same thing)
Five ninths times three fifths is one third.
three fifths is bigger.
One third of three fifths is one fifth.
9/15 + 5/15 = 14/15
(Three of anything) plus (another three of it) = (six of the same thing)
three fifths plus one quarter = 17 twentieths
(3/5)+(3/5)+(3/5) = 9/5 = 1 and 4/5
