(3)/(10) +
(2)/(5)

Multiply the
(2)/(5) by 2 on both sides to get a common denominator of 10. You should end up with
(4)/(10).


(3)/(10) +
(4)/(10) =
(7)/(10)

Get a common denominator between
(7)/(10) and
(5)/(15) to compare them -- a common denominator is 30. Multiply the
(7)/(10) by 3, and
(5)/(15) by 2.


(21)/(30) and
(10)/(30)
The
(7)/(10) is obviously much larger than
(5)/(15).

Now look at the answers. Which are true?

B and E are easily seen as true, because we know that the total of
(5)/(15) is not reasonable/right.

The 2 statements that are true are (B) and (E).
