Question

Jocelyn wrote an essay about grasshoppers. 1/5 of the essay was her introduction and 2/5 of her essay contained details. The rest of the essay was her conclusion. Jocelyn' s conclusion was what fraction of her essay

Answer 1

2/5 of here essay will be the conclusion.


You will not need to change the denominator because they are already equal.
So you take 1/5 + 2/5
Then you take the sum of those which is 3/5 and subtract it from 5/5 because 5/5 is the essay in whole. So you take 5/5 - 3/5 to get your answer.
The answer will then be: 2/5 of the essay is Jocelyn's conclusion.

GOOD LUCK! Hope this helped you understand more!!
