3/5 + 1/5 = 3/25?

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Wouldn't it just be 4/5 because they're both over 5...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i didn't know that i'm new to this kind of math ._.

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Well it is. I was "suggesting" it, hoping you'd say yes lol.

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Now if it were multiplication, it would be 3/25. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is 4/5 but do you see where you went wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did 3*1= then 5*5= xD i thought that was how i was suppose to do it lol

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Lmao, no. You're just adding the numerators, but leaving the denominators because they're the same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh xD

OpenStudy (xmissalycatx):

Do ye understand it now? :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thanks
