question #9 of 10
what do you get when you add 2/5 and 1/5?
1/5 2/5
4/5 3/5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall fraction addition rule

For adding fractions with the same denominator, we use the rule $\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a + b}{c}$, where $c
eq0$. Here, $a = 2$, $b = 1$, and $c = 5$.

Step2: Apply the rule

Substitute the values into the formula: $\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{2 + 1}{5}=\frac{3}{5}$.

Answer:

3/5 (corresponding to the option with "3/5" text, e.g., if the gray box is the option with 3/5, then the answer is the option with 3/5. Assuming the gray box is the fourth option, the answer is: D. 3/5 (if the options are labeled A:1/5, B:2/5, C:4/5, D:3/5))
