Question

simplify 3/5 of 1/25 +5/8​

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.399$

Step-by-step explanation:

• Given Expression:

$\frac{3}{5}$ of $\frac{1}{25}+\frac{5}{8}$

• Let us add the fractions $\frac{1}{25}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$

• To add the above fractions, we need to find the LCM of denominators

• LCM of $\frac{1}{25}$ and $\frac{5}{8}$ is $200$

• On adding the fractions, we get

$\frac{1}{25}+\frac{5}{8}$

$=\frac{8+125}{200}$

$=\frac{133}{200}$

• Now, $\frac{3}{5}$ of $\frac{133}{200}$

$=\frac{3}{5} \times\frac{133}{200}$

$=\frac{399}{1000}$

$=0.399$

Hence, the value of $\frac{3}{5}$ of $\frac{1}{25}+\frac{5}{8}$ is $0.399$.

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of the expression.

       Given data: $\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{25}+\frac{5}{8}.$

      To find:- the value of $\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{25}+\frac{5}{8}= ?$

      Solution:-

•  We will take the LCM of the denominators, and make denominators the same.

•  We will Convert the given fractions to equivalent fractions with the denominator as the LCM.

• Adding the numerators over the denominators.

          $\begin{array}{l}\frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{25}+\frac{5}{8} \\=\frac{3}{125}+\frac{5}{8} \frac{3 \times 8+5 \times 125}{1000} \\=\frac{24+625}{1000} \\=\frac{649}{1000}\end{array}$

  Hence we will get the value $\frac{649}{1000}.$
