Answer:
\(\frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}\)
\(\frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{5}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Here let's take like denominators fractions.
Let's consider two fractions \(\frac{3}{5}, \frac{1}{5}\)
Here the denominators of the fractions is the same.
So, take two strips of the same size and divided into 5 equal parts and shade 3 parts in one strip and shade 1 part in another strip.
Addition
When we add the fractions, we add the shaded parts.
3 + 1 = 4
The total number of equal parts remains the same (5).
\(\frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{5}\)
Subtraction
When we subtract the fractions, we remove 1 shaded part from 3 shaded part.
3 - 1 = 2
The total number of equal parts remains the same. which is 5.
\(\frac{3}{5} - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{5}\)
