Question

Add the following fractions: 4/15 + 1/3

Answer 1

To add fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 15 and 3 is 15. So, let's rewrite the fractions with the common denominator:

4/15 + (1/3)(5/5) = 4/15 + 5/15

Now, we can add the fractions with the common denominator:

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

Therefore, 4/15 + 1/3 = 9/15.
