What is one eighth plus three fifths?

Answer 1

Threefortieths

Answer 2

0.375+0.2=0.575

The last person converted it to decimal form, but if you would like it in fraction form

here it is if not i have left the last person contribution.

3/8 +1/5 you need to find a common denominator for both of them we will do 40

15/40 +8/40 ====now add the two numerators leaving denominators same

23/40 -===== this would be your fraction answer ( which in decimal form would be 0.575)

Hope this helps!

But I think it's 5 all-over 12

Answer 3

One eighth plus three fifths is 16 over 40, but if you do put it in its simplest form, the answer is 2 over 5 :)

Answer 4

Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 3/5 + 1/8 = 29/40 or twenty-nine fortieths. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 0.725.

Answer 5

1/5 + 3/8 = 8/40 + 15/40 = 23/40
