Question

2/5 + 1/3 Can you add these fractions with the denominators they have right now?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.

Answer 2

yes you can simplify it because both the denominators have common denominator of 15.
