Question

Evaluate $:$$\frac{3}{5}$$+$ $\frac{1}{5}$ using number line

Answer 1

Step 1: The denominators are same, so add the numerators and put the answer over the denominator

$\frac{3}{5}$$+$ $\frac{1}{5}$ $=$$\frac{3+1}{5}$$=$$\frac{4}{5}$

Step 2 : Divide the line segment between the points 0 and 1 into 5 equal parts ( Denominator is 5)

Step 3 :Each part will represent $\frac{1}{5}$

Step 4 :Label the points $\frac{1}{5}$$,$$\frac{2}{5}$$,$$\frac{3}{5}$and $\frac{4}{5}$ on the number line

Step 5 : Move three parts on the right side of zero to reach $\frac{3}{5}$

Step 6 : Move one part on the right side of $\frac{3}{5}$to reach $\frac{4}{5}$

Therefore $,$ $:$$\frac{3}{5}$$+$ $\frac{1}{5}$$=$$\frac{4}{5}$
