I'll solve these fraction addition problems step by step.
When adding fractions with the same denominator, I just need to add the numerators and keep the denominator the same. Then I can simplify if needed.
Let me work through each problem:
Left Column:
1. 3/5 + 2/5 + 1/5 = (3+2+1)/5 = 6/5 = 1 1/5
2. 1/5 + 2/5 + 1/5 = (1+2+1)/5 = 4/5
3. 1/2 + 2/2 + 1/2 = (1+2+1)/2 = 4/2 = 2
4. 5/9 + 1/9 + 3/9 = (5+1+3)/9 = 9/9 = 1
5. 3/7 + 1/7 + 2/7 = (3+1+2)/7 = 6/7
Right Column:
6. 1/4 + 3/4 + 1/4 = (1+3+1)/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
7. 1/4 + 2/4 + 2/4 = (1+2+2)/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
8. 1/6 + 3/6 + 3/6 = (1+3+3)/6 = 7/6 = 1 1/6
9. 2/5 + 1/5 + 4/5 = (2+1+4)/5 = 7/5 = 1 2/5
10. 2/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = (2+1+1)/4 = 4/4 = 1
Final Answer:
- 3/5 + 2/5 + 1/5 = 6/5 or 1 1/5
- 1/5 + 2/5 + 1/5 = 4/5
- 1/2 + 2/2 + 1/2 = 2
- 5/9 + 1/9 + 3/9 = 1
- 3/7 + 1/7 + 2/7 = 6/7
- 1/4 + 3/4 + 1/4 = 5/4 or 1 1/4
- 1/4 + 2/4 + 2/4 = 5/4 or 1 1/4
- 1/6 + 3/6 + 3/6 = 7/6 or 1 1/6
- 2/5 + 1/5 + 4/5 = 7/5 or 1 2/5
- 2/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1
