how to do 2/5 plus 1/5
Answer (2)
3/5In this problem, we're asked to add the following fractions:→ [tex]\sf \cfrac{2}{5}+\cfrac{1}{5}[/tex]Notice that these fractions have the same denominators. And when we add two fractions with common denominators, the bottom part stays the same, and we only add the numerators:→ [tex]\sf \cfrac{2+1}{5}[/tex]→ [tex]\sf \cfrac{3}{5}[/tex]
To add fractions with the same denominator, just simply add the numerators.Solution:[tex]$\sf{\frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{5} }$[/tex]Final answer:[tex]$\sf{\frac{3}{5}}$[/tex]
