Sagot :

Answer:

no for both

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 + 2/5=9/10

4/5 + 1/10= 9/10

Answer:

The first questions answer is No, because 1/2 converted to a fith is 2.5, so 2 fiths +2.5 fiths is 4.5 fiths vs 1 whole.

And to the second question the sum of 4/5 and 1/10 is closer to 1 than 1/2 because 1/10 + 8/10 ( which i turned 4/5 into a tenth) is 9/10 which is closer to One than 1/2
