Answers

To add \( \frac{2}{5} \) and its opposite, \( -\frac{2}{5} \), you simply add the two fractions together:
\[
\frac{2}{5} + \left(-\frac{2}{5}\right) = \frac{2}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = 0
\]
In a graphical representation, if you were to drag two arrows to indicate this operation, one arrow could point to \( \frac{2}{5} \) on a number line, and the other arrow could point to \( -\frac{2}{5} \). When added, they effectively cancel each other out, resulting in \( 0 \).
\[
\frac{2}{5} + \left(-\frac{2}{5}\right) = \frac{2}{5} - \frac{2}{5} = 0
