Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of the expression is $\frac{38}{15}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

$2 \frac{1}{5}-(-\frac{1}{3})$

To find:- $2 \frac{1}{5}-(-\frac{1}{3})$ = ?

Now by converting the mixed fraction into an improper fraction,

$=>2\frac{1}{5}=\frac{11}{5}$

So, the expression is written as:

$=> \frac{11}{5}-(-\frac{1}{3})$

As we know that:

$(-\times -=+)$

Therefore,

$=> \frac{11}{5}+\frac{1}{3}$

By taking LCM of $5$ and $3$,

$=> \frac{11\times 3}{5\times 3}+\frac{1\times 5}{3\times 5}$

$=> \frac{33}{15}+\frac{5}{15}$

So, we get LCM as $15$.

Combining both the fractions:

$=> \frac{33}{15}+\frac{5}{15}$

$=> \frac{33+5}{15}$

=> $\frac{38}{15}$

Hence, the required solution is $\frac{38}{15}$.
