Question

2/5 + 1/3, Whats The Answer?

Answer 1

Take the 2/5 and multiple it by 3 to get 6/15....then take the 1/3 and multiple it by 5 to get 5/15. Then add this together (6/15+5/15=....) to get 11/15

Answer 2

Hello! To solve this problem, we'll need to find a common denominator. 5 and 3 both fit into 15, so let's adjust the numerators accordingly.

2/5= 6/15 1/3= 5/15

When you add fractions, only the numerator changes.

6/15 + 5/15 = 11/15

Hope this helps! ^^
