Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To combine and simplify the fractions, first find a common denominator, which in this case is 80 (the least common multiple of 5 and 16). Convert each fraction: $\frac{2}{5} = \frac{32}{80}$, $\frac{1}{16} = \frac{5}{80}$, and $\frac{3}{5} = \frac{48}{80}$. Then, combine them: $\frac{32}{80} - \frac{5}{80} + \frac{48}{80} = \frac{75}{80}$, which simplifies to $\frac{15}{16}$.
