Question

Decompose the fraction 2/5

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, the decomposition of $\frac{2}{5}$ will be:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the fraction

$\frac{2}{5}$

As we know that a fraction can be expressed as the product of a whole number and a unit fraction.

$2\times \frac{1}{5}$

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

Expressing decomposition in terms of the sum of lesser fractions keeping 5 as the denominator.

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

Therefore, the decomposition of $\frac{2}{5}$ will be:

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