Answer:
No,Randy is not correct
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because in fractions with different denominators,we can add numerators only after taking LCM of the denominators and multiplying numerator by them.
Actual answer will be:
7/8+9/15
LCM of 8 and 15 is 120
=7(15)+9(8)/120
=105+72/120
=177/120
