Question

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

Answer 1

To add fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 15.

To convert 1/3 into a fraction with denominator 15, we multiply the numerator and denominator by 5:

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

Now we can add the fractions:

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

So, 2/15 + 1/3 = 7/15.
