Need help with adding subtracting decimals.. . In this unit, you learned about fractions that can be written as terminating deci
mals 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.

a large pizza to eat. Jason ate 5/8 of the pizza. What’s the fraction of the

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 </span>

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.
