Question

Need help with adding subtracting decimals.. . In this unit, you learned about fractions that can be written as terminating decimals and fractions that can be written as nonterminating decimals. Create an addition word problem and a subtraction word problem using fractions. Show how to find the solution to each problem. Once you find the solutions to your problems, rewrite the solutions as either a terminating or nonterminating decimal.

Answer 1

 1. Jason and Hance bought a large pizza to eat. Jason ate 5/8 of the pizza. What’s the fraction of the pizza that was left for Hance? 

8/8 - 5/8 = 3/8 

Hance ate 3/8 of the pizza which = .375 which is a terminating decimal. 

2. Yvonne has 1/6 cup of walnuts and 1/6 cup of dried cherries. How many cups of both does she have? 
1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3

1/3 is equal to .33333, this is an example of a nonterminating decimal because it never ends. I am hoping that these answers have satisfied your queries and it will be able to help you, and if you’d like, feel free to ask another question.
