Question

Neeta bought 2 and 3/5 liter of milk from the market.To make it 3 liters, how much more does she need?

Answer 1

Easy, 2+3/5=2 and 3/5
3-2 and 3/5 = 2/5 answer is 2/5

Answer 2

How much does she have so far in total??

2+ 3/5 is

2+$\frac{3}{5}$=$2\frac{3}{5}$

she needs 3, so she needs

3-$2\frac{3}{5}$ more

let's change the 3 into a mixed number with a denominator of 5: $2\frac{5}{5}$


 $2\frac{5}{5}$-$2\frac{3}{5}$=$\frac{2}{5}$

so $\frac{2}{5}$ is the answer
