To add fractions, you need to have a common denominator. The common denominator for 15 and 3 is 15.
To make the denominators the same, you need to multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3, and the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 5, to get:
(4/15) + (1/3) = (4/15) x (3/3) + (1/3) x (5/5) = (12/45) + (5/15)
Now that the denominators are the same, you can simply add the numerators:
(12/45) + (5/15) = (12 + 5) / 45 = 17/45
Therefore, the sum of 4/15 and 1/3 is 17/45.
