1 answer

7/3 + 2/5

To add these fractions together, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, it is 15.

For the first fraction (7/3), we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 5 to get a denominator of 15:

7/3 x 5/5 = 35/15

For the second fraction (2/5), we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 3 to get a denominator of 15:

2/5 x 3/3 = 6/15

Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them together:

35/15 + 6/15 = 41/15

Therefore, the sum of 7/3 + 2/5 is 41/15.
