1/3= 5/15
2/5= 6/15
5/15 + 6/15 = 11/15
15/15 - 11/15 = 4/15
Part C= 4/15
3.25 would be 3 1/4 because,
Step 1: You would rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator. So, 3.25 = 3.24/1
Step 2: Multiply it by 1 to eliminate 2 decimals places, so multiply the top and bottom by 10^2 = 100
3.25/1 x 100/100 = 325/100
Step 3: Now you find the greatest common factor, also known as GCF, of 325 and 100 if it exits then you reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by it. GCF = 25
3.25/100 divided by 25/25 = 13/4
Now you would simplify it to make a proper fraction getting your answer
3 1/4
Does that make sense?
The scale faction is 20 to 1 hope that helps
