Question

How do i find the answer to
3/5 + (-1/5) ?

Answer 1

2/5

Explanation:

the sign between + and the parenthesis is a x (multiplication) that can be omitted,

We have to remember that plus x minus = minus

So we can rewrite the expression in this way:

3/5 - 1/5

Now we maintain the same denominator and we have to do the subtraction between the numerators

(3-1)/5

2/5
