Question

Simplify and fill in the blanks with appropriate answer:

$\frac{4}{5}+\frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{5}=\_\_\_$

[$\frac{3}{5}$ / $\frac{9}{5}$]

Answer 1

• Step 1: As these are the like fractions, so perform addition and subtraction in the numerators and write the result over the common denominator.

$\frac{4}{5}+\frac{2}{5}-\frac{3}{5}=\frac{4+2-3}{5}=\frac{3}{5}$

• There is no common factor of $3$ and $5$ other than $1$. Hence, the simplest form is $\frac{3}{5}$.
