We are given equation: [tex]\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{5} =\frac{2}{8} =\frac{1}{4}[/tex].

We need to explain if the given equation is true or not.

If true, then why true and if not true, why not.

We can see than we have 1/3 on left side of the equation.

And fraction 1/5 is being added into 1/3 on left side of the equation.

On right side of equation we have 1/4.

We know, 1/3 is greater than 1/4.

And if we add something into 1/3, it would also greater than 1/4.

Therefore, 1/4 is less than 1/3+1/5.

Those can not be equal.

Therefore,  correct option is 4th option.

Because 1/4 < 1 /3, this equation can not be true.
