Question

Find the missing section. Answers must be in fraction form.

Answer 1

`(1)/(10)`

Explanation:

We have a circle that is split in three sections, two of which we know and we are asked to find the third missing section.

For the circle, we know that 4/5 and 1/10 is fit. Now we need the last one, to solve, we need to get the same denominator and see how much is missing.

Since 1/10 is our highest denominator, let's change 4/5 to have 10 as a denominator. Which would be through multiplying 5 to get 10.

What times 5 equals 10?

2

Now multiply both numerator and denominator by 2 to get our portion.

`(4*2)/(5*2)`

`(8)/(10)`

Now we have the same denominator, let's add our two fractions and see how much we have left.

8/10 + 1/10

9/10

We have 1/10 missing, therefore 1/10 is the answer.
