Solve the following exercise:
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Both fractions and have the common denominator of 5.
Step 2: Add the numerators: .
Thus, we get .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is . This corresponds to choice 4.
\( \)\( \frac{4}{5}+\frac{1}{5}= \)
The denominator tells us what size pieces we're working with. Since both fractions have fifths, we're still working with fifths after adding. Only the number of pieces (numerators) changes!
Then you'd need to find a common denominator first by converting the fractions. But here, both fractions already have the same denominator (5), so you can add directly!
Think of a rectangle divided into 5 equal parts. You have 1 part shaded plus 3 more parts shaded = 4 parts shaded total out of 5 parts.
No, is already in lowest terms because 4 and 5 share no common factors other than 1. This is your final answer!
The rectangle is divided into 5 equal sections. The shaded part represents , and when you add , you get of the rectangle shaded.
