Question

S- 1/5 =2/10 what is s

Answer 1

s = 2/5

Explanation:

Add 1/5 to both sides

s - 1/5 = 2/10

+ 1/5 + 1/5

- 1/5 and + 1/5 cancels out

2/10 + 1/5 ---> 2/10 + 2/10 = 4/10

Simplify 4/10 by dividing by 2

4/10 = 2/5

s = 2/5

Answer 2

4/10 or 2/5

Explanation:

s - 1/5 = 2/10

(Make denominators equal)

S - 2/10 = 2/10

(Add 2/10 to both sides)

S = 2/10 + 2/10

s = 4/10

(Simplify by dividing by 2)

S = 2/5
