Questions: (2/2.5) = 15/100 + 20/50

Solution Steps

To solve the given equation, we need to evaluate both sides of the equation separately and then compare them. The left side is a simple division, and the right side involves adding two fractions. We will calculate each side and check if they are equal.

The left side of the equation is given by \(\frac{2}{2.5}\). Simplifying this fraction, we have: \[ \frac{2}{2.5} = \frac{2 \times 10}{2.5 \times 10} = \frac{20}{25} = \frac{4}{5} = 0.8 \]

The right side of the equation is given by \(\frac{15}{100} + \frac{20}{50}\). Simplifying each fraction, we have: \[ \frac{15}{100} = \frac{3}{20} = 0.15 \] \[ \frac{20}{50} = \frac{2}{5} = 0.4 \] Adding these two results: \[ 0.15 + 0.4 = 0.55 \]

Now, we compare the two sides of the equation:

• Left side: \(0.8\)
• Right side: \(0.55\)

Since \(0.8 \neq 0.55\), the two sides are not equal.
