Question: Show how 2/5 + 4/10 is the same as 4/5
Step-by-step:
2/5 and 4/10 are fractions. (So is 4/5)
To add fractions together, we need the denominators to be the same. This means that the bottom number of 2/5, which is 5 and the bottom number of 4/10 which is 10 have to be the same.
The easiest way to do this is to simplify 4/10. To simplify 4/10, we divide both the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) by the Greatest Common Factor.
In this case, 2 is the Greatest Common Factor because 4 divided by 2 is 2 and 10 divided by 2 is 5.
so, 4/10 can be simplified to 2/5.
Now, we can add 2/5 and 2/5 together by only adding the numerators. 2 + 2 = 4
so, 2/5 + 2/5 = 4/5
4/5 = 4/5
Therefore, 2/5 + 4/10 is the same as 4/5.
Hope this helps
