Sagot :

The denominators of the fractions are 2 and 10.

The fractions with numerators of 1 that have sum of 3 / 5  is calculated below

The sum of the fractions are 3 / 5. Each of the fractions have a numerator of 1. Therefore, let the denominators be x and y

  • 1 / x + 1 / y = 3 / 5

Therefore,

1 / x  + 1 / y = 3 / 5

y + x / xy = 3 / 5

cross multiply

5y + 5x = 3xy

Using hit and trial method,

5(2) + 5(10) = 3(10)(2)

10 + 50 = 60

60 = 60

The values are same.

Therefore, the denominators are 2 and 10.
