Add the following fractions: 2/15 + 1/3

Answer 1

To add these fractions, we need to first find a common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator (LCD) is 15, since both fractions have denominators of 15 and 3 can be rewritten as 15/5.

Now, let's convert the fractions to have the common denominator of 15:

2/15 + 1/3 = 2/15 + (1/3)*(5/5) = 2/15 + 5/15

Now that the fractions have a common denominator of 15, we can simply add the numerators:

2/15 + 5/15 = (2 + 5)/15 = 7/15

Therefore, the sum of the fractions 2/15 + 1/3 is 7/15.
