Answer 1

To add the fractions 4/15 and 1/3, we need to find a common denominator.

The common denominator between 15 and 3 is 15.

Next, we need to adjust the fractions so they have the same denominator.

Converting 1/3 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 15:

1/3 = (1 x 5)/(3 x 5) = 5/15

Now, the fractions 4/15 and 5/15 have the same denominator:

4/15 + 5/15 = (4 + 5)/15 = 9/15

Therefore, the sum of the fractions 4/15 and 1/3 is 9/15.
