Question

Reena bought 1/3 metre of ribbon and Meena 3/5 meter of ribbon what was the total length of the ribbon they bought​

Answer 1

`(14)/(15)\:\mathrm{m}`

Explanation:

we need to add the two fractions together.

`(1)/(3)+(3)/(5)`

to do this, we shall convert these into fractions of the same denominator. the smallest number divisible by both 3 and 5 is 15, so we adjust accordingly.

`(1)/(3)+(3)/(5)=(5)/(15)+(9)/(15)`

finally, we can add them together:

`(5)/(15)+(9)/(15)=(14)/(15)` is our answer.
