Answer:


(11)/(15)

Explanation:


(1)/(3) +
(2)/(5)

The least common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15. Convert
(1)/(3) and
(2)/(5) to fractions with denominator 15.


(5)/(15) +
(6)/(15)

Since
(5)/(15) and
(6)/(15) have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.


(5+6)/(15)

Add 5 and 6 to get 11.


(11)/(15)

Hope it helps and have a great day! =D
