what is 4/15 + 1/3

Answer 1

To add fractions, you need to have a common denominator.

The common denominator of 15 and 3 is 15.

To convert 4/15 to a fraction with the denominator 15, you multiply the numerator and denominator by 3:

4/15 = (4*3)/(15*3) = 12/45.

Now, you can add the two fractions:

12/45 + 1/3 = (12 + 15)/45 = 27/45.

This fraction can be simplified by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 9:

27/45 = (27/9)/(45/9) = 3/5.

Therefore, 4/15 + 1/3 = 3/5.
