Question

One and three fifths plus three and two thirds equals blank

Answer 1

5
`(4)/(15)`

Explanation:

1
`(3)/(5)` = 8/5

3
`(2)/(3)` = 11/3

In order to add fractions, the denominators, or the bottom numbers, have to be the same. To make them the same, find the common denominator (the lowest number that both the numbers can be divisible by)

8/5+ 11/3 the common denominator would be 15 so multiply the appropriate numbers to the denominators and the numerators (the top number)

24/15 + 55/15 = 79/15

Now simplify

79/15 = 5
`(4)/(15)`
