Answer:
a)146/15 b)67/20
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 4 1/3 +5 2/5
= 13/3+27/5
=65+81/15
=146/15
b) 3 3/4-2/5
=15/4-2/5
=75-8/20
=67/20
Hey there!
First by resolving the mixed fraction into improper fraction we get :
a) 13/3 + 27/5
• Now take LCM
• LCM of 3 and 5 is 15
• Now let's make the denominators equal :
13*5 / 3*5 = 65/15 -----(1)
And
27*3/ 5*3 = 81 /15 ------(2)
Now add (1) and (2) :
65 + 81/15
= 146/15
Hence, answer for a) is 146 /5

Similarly, in b) First by resolving the mixed fraction into improper fraction we get :
b.) 15/4 - 2/5
• Now take LCM
• LCM of 4 and 5 is 20
• Now let's make the denominators equal :
15 *5 / 4*5 = 75/20 -----(1)
2*4/5*4 = 8/20 ----(2)
Now subtract (2) from (1) :
75 - 8/ 20 = 67/20
Hence, the answer for b) 67/20
Hope it helps! :)
