Question

Write these fractions appropriately as additions or subtractions:

Answer 1

Here, it can be observed that $$1st, 2nd$$, and $$3rd$$ rectangles are representing $$2, 3$$, and $$5$$ shaded parts out of $$6$$ equal parts respectively.

Clearly, the fraction represented by $$3rd$$ rectangle is the sum of the fractions represented by $$1st$$ and $$2nd$$ rectangles.

Hence, $$\dfrac {2}{6} + \dfrac {3}{6} = \dfrac {5}{6}$$.
