Answer 1

5/9 is the answer because you add 3/4+2/5

Answer 2

3/4 × 2/5 = 3/10

Explanation:

3/4 × 2/5 is equivalent to 3/4 of 2/5

First, you have to divide the number line in 5 parts, and locate 2/5 (see figure attached)

Next, you have to divide in 4 parts the segment that represents 2/5, and locate 3/4 of 2/5

If you continue dividing the whole line with the previous segment length, you will divide the whole line into 10 parts.

Then, 3/4 of 2/5 is 3/10.
