Answer:

No, because 1/5+2/5=3/5. 3/5 is also equivalent to 6/10, not 3/10.

What do you add to 2 1/8 to make 4

barxatty [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us add x to $2\frac{1}{8}$ to make 4.

$\therefore \: x + 2 \frac{1}{8} = 4 \\ \\ \therefore \: x + \frac{2 \times 8 + 1}{8} = 4 \\ \\ \therefore \: x + \frac{16 + 1}{8} = 4 \\ \\ \therefore \: x + \frac{17}{8} = 4 \\ \\ \therefore \: x = 4 - \frac{17}{8} \\ \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{4 \times 8 - 17}{8} \\ \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{32- 17}{8} \\ \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{15}{8} \\ \\ \therefore \: x =1 \frac{7}{8} \\ \\ \therefore \:1 \frac{7}{8} \: should \: be \: added \: in \: 2 \frac{1}{8} \: to \: \\ \: \: \: \: \: make \: it \: \: 4.$
