(1)/(10), (3)/(10), (6)/(10)

Solution:

Given that,

We have to write 3 fractions, using 10 as the denominator, who's sum is 1

We know that, fraction is written as:

$fraction = (numerator)/(denominator)$

We have to write 3 fractions with 10 as denominator

$(1)/(10)\\\\(3)/(10)\\\\(6)/(10)$

Add these to check if its sum is 1

sum = (1)/(10) + (3)/(10) + (6)/(10)

When denominators are same, we can add the numerators

$sum = (1+3+6)/(10)\\\\sum = (10)/(10)\\\\sum = 1$

Thus the three fractions are:

(1)/(10), (3)/(10), (6)/(10)
