Question

Add the following and match with the correct answers

• A. $\frac{5}{4}$
• B. $5$
• C. $\frac{11}{5}$

Answer 1

In all cases, the denominator is same, hence adding the numerators will give the answer.

Case 1:
$\frac{8}{5}$ + $\frac{3}{5}$ = $\frac{8+3}{5}$ = $\frac{11}{5}$

Case 2:
$\frac{2}{4}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{2+3}{4}$ = $\frac{5}{4}$

Case 3:
$\frac{7}{2}$ + $\frac{3}{2}$ = $\frac{7+3}{2}$ = $\frac{10}{2}$= $5$
