1. Which of the following best approximates the measure of 2? a. 10
b. 20
c. 30
d. 45​

Step-by-step explanation:

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(5, 6) = 30. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 5 × 6 = 30. In the next intermediate step, the fraction result cannot be further simplified by canceling.

In words - three fifths plus one sixth = twenty-three thirtieths.

Subtract:

For adding, subtracting, and comparing fractions, it is suitable to adjust both fractions to a common (equal, identical) denominator. The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of both denominators - LCM(30, 3) = 30. In practice, it is enough to find the common denominator (not necessarily the lowest) by multiplying the denominators: 30 × 3 = 90. In the next intermediate step, , cancel by a common factor of 3 gives

In words - twenty-three thirtieths minus two thirds = one tenth.
