Question

Simplify 2/5+1/3
do ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{3}$ =  $\frac{11}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{3}$

They are unlike fractions since their denominators are different.

S we have to convert these into like fractions

For that,

         The LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.

         Therefore the equivalent fractions are,

                   $\frac{2}{5} = \frac{6}{15}$

                   $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{15}$

⇒ $\frac{6}{15} + \frac{5}{15}$ = $\frac{11}{15}$

Therefore, $\frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{3}$ =  $\frac{11}{15}$
