Answer 1

Answer:

Mansi and Megna cleaned the entire school premisis together (1 whole)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part cleaned by Mansi = 2/5

Part cleaned by Meghna = 3/5

Part cleaned by both of them together =

2/5 + 3/5

=> 2/5 and 3/5 are like fractions, so we can add the numerators -

2/5 + 3/5 = (2+3)/5 = 5/5 = 1

Answer 2

Given:

Mansi and Meghna cleaned 2/5 and 3/5 of their school premises respectively

To Find:

how many parts did the two clean together?*

Solution:

It is given that Mansi has cleaned 2/5 part of the school and Meghna has cleaned 3/5 part of the school.

What are Like and Unlike fractions:

• The fraction with the same denominator is called Like Fractions.

• The fraction with different denominators is called, Unlike fractions.

• We can see both the denominators are the same in the given question, so we can directly add 2 and 3.

Addition of 2/5 and 3/5 :

$= > \dfrac{2}{5} + \dfrac{3}{5}$

$= > \dfrac{2 + 3}{5}$

$= > \dfrac{5}{5}$

Hence, they both have cleaned together 5/5 part of the school which equals to the whole part 1.

• 1 is the whole number of 5/5 fraction.

• 5/5 or 1, both the answers are equal.

• since the question is asking about how many parts did they both cleaned together so the required answer is option B => 5/5
