Firstly make the lower number the same
So 5 and 8 have 40 in common
Then 3/5 is times 8 to make 40 so 3x8 is 24 i.e. 24/40
Then 1/8 is times 5 to make 40 so 1x5 is 5 i.e. 5/40
Add together makes 29/40
(Three of anything) plus (another three of it) = (six of the same thing)
3/15 + 2/5 = 3/5 or 0.6
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 1/10 + 1/2 = 3/5 or three fifths.
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 2/8 + 3/5 = 17/20 or seventeen twentieths.
Eleven- fifths plus four- fifths equals fifteen- fifths, which reduces to three wholes. (11/5+4/5=15/5, or 3/1)
4/10
(Three of anything) plus (another three of it) = (six of the same thing)
1 3/5 + 4/5 = 12/5 (<improper fraction) or as a mixed fraction, 2 2/5 (2 and two fifths)
a mixed fraction is a number written out as a whole number plus a fraction: ex. 3 4/5 (three and four fifths) would be a mixed fraction. essentially a whole number plus a fraction (but it would actually be written without the plus sign).
three fifths plus one quarter = 17 twentieths
(3/5)+(3/5)+(3/5) = 9/5 = 1 and 4/5
3/15 + 2/5 = 3/5 or 0.6
5
47 fifths or 9 and 2 fifths
7 4/5
Three and four-fifths
four fifths
