Solution Steps

Divide 5 by 5 to get 1.

$$\frac{4}{5}<\frac{1}{5}+\frac{5}{10}\text{ and }\frac{1}{5}+\frac{5}{10}<1$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{5}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$\frac{4}{5}<\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{2}\text{ and }\frac{1}{5}+\frac{5}{10}<1$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10. Convert \frac{1}{5} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 10.

$$\frac{4}{5}<\frac{2}{10}+\frac{5}{10}\text{ and }\frac{1}{5}+\frac{5}{10}<1$$

Since \frac{2}{10} and \frac{5}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{4}{5}<\frac{2+5}{10}\text{ and }\frac{1}{5}+\frac{5}{10}<1$$

Add 2 and 5 to get 7.

$$\frac{4}{5}<\frac{7}{10}\text{ and }\frac{1}{5}+\frac{5}{10}<1$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 10 is 10. Convert \frac{4}{5} and \frac{7}{10} to fractions with denominator 10.

$$\frac{8}{10}<\frac{7}{10}\text{ and }\frac{1}{5}+\frac{5}{10}<1$$

Compare \frac{8}{10} and \frac{7}{10}.

$$\text{false}\text{ and }\frac{1}{5}+\frac{5}{10}<1$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{5}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$\text{false}\text{ and }\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{2}<1$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 2 is 10. Convert \frac{1}{5} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 10.

$$\text{false}\text{ and }\frac{2}{10}+\frac{5}{10}<1$$

Since \frac{2}{10} and \frac{5}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\text{false}\text{ and }\frac{2+5}{10}<1$$

Add 2 and 5 to get 7.

$$\text{false}\text{ and }\frac{7}{10}<1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{10}{10}.

$$\text{false}\text{ and }\frac{7}{10}<\frac{10}{10}$$

Compare \frac{7}{10} and \frac{10}{10}.

$$\text{false}\text{ and }\text{true}$$

The conjunction of \text{false} and \text{true} is \text{false}.

$$\text{false}$$
