Question

Identify the missing value in the given expression
$\frac{9}{5}+\frac{7}{5}=\frac{\square }{5}$

• A. 2
• B. 12
• C. 5
• D. 16

Answer 1

The correct option is D 16

Given,
$\frac{9}{5}+\frac{7}{5}=\frac{\square }{5}$

As the denominators of the fractions are the same, we can add the numerators directly and the denomintor remains the same

Let's add
$\frac{9}{5}+\frac{7}{5}=\frac{9+7}{5}$

$=\frac{9+7}{5}=\frac{16}{5}$

So the missing number is 16 (the numerator of $\frac{16}{5}$)
