Answer: Yes, it's true.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to convert the mixed number to a fraction. The procedure for this is:
- Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 5.
- Add the product obtained and the numerator 2 (This will be the numerator of the fraction).
- The denominator does not change. It will be 5.
Then:
Rewrite the equation:
Notice that the denominators on the left side are 4 and 5 and the denominator on the right side are also 4 and 5.
Then, the Least Common Denominator (LCD) on both sides is:
Now we can solve the subtraction on the left side of the equation and the addition on the righ side:
Therefore:
(IT'S TRUE)
