Combine the following fractions.

a. 3/5 + 4/15


b. 5/6 - 1/4

Answer 1

Hello there! :)

Answer:

1.
`\boxed{(13)/(15) }`

2.
`\boxed{(7)/(12) }`

Explanation:

1. 3/5+4/15

First, you multiply by numerator and denominator.

3*3=9

5*3=15

`=(9)/(15)`

Then, you had to combine by the fractions.

`(9)/(15)+(4)/(15)`

Add by the numbers from left to right.

9+4=13

13/15 is the final answer.

2. 5/6-1/4

First, you multiply by 2 both sides of numerator and denominator.

5*2=10

6*2=12

10/12

3/12

`(10)/(12)-(3)/(12)`

Subtract by the numerator.

10-3=7

7/12 is the final answer.
