Answer:

False.

Explanation:

In this equation the first part is correct 2/5 = 0.4 but when you divide 1 by 4 you get 0.25 which is not equal to 0.5, like this:

2 / 5 = 0.4

1/4 = 0.25

But that would mean the equation would look more like this:

0.4 + 0.25 = 0.4 + 0.5

or

0.65 = 0.9

So this equation is false.

Hope this helps you!!
