Add the following fractions 2/15+1/3

Answer 1

To add the fractions 2/15 and 1/3, we need to have a common denominator. The least common multiple of 15 and 3 is 15.

Since 15 is already the denominator of the first fraction, we only need to convert the second fraction into an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 15.

To do this, we multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5 to get:

1/3 * 5/5 = 5/15

Now that we have both fractions with a common denominator of 15, we can add them together:

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

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