Question

What number is 3/5 more than 0.65? A) 3/7 B) 13/20 C) 1 1/4 D) 1 2/5

Answer 1

Answer:

1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 as a decimal is 0.6

0.6 + 0.65 = 1.25

1.25 as a fraction is 1 1/4

Answer 2

Answer:

Choice C, 1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways you can go about this problem.

1. Convert 0.65 into a fraction. This will give us 13/20 when simplified.

2. You can add this to 3/5 by getting a common denominator. In this case, 12/20.

3. Add 13/20 and 12/20 to get 25/20.

4. Take the 20 out of the numerator to get 1 5/20 (Hopefully that made sense, if not let me know). Reduce the 5/20 to 1/4.

5. This gives us an answer of 1 1/4.

The other way:

1. Convert 3/5 to a decimal. This gives us 0.6.

2. Add it to 0.65, giving us 1.25

3. Convert 1.25 into a fraction, which is 1 1/4

Hope this helped!
