Question

6: REDUCE to simplest term. 4/1 + 15/2​

Answer 1

`(4)/(15)+\:(1)/(2)` in the simplest term is:

`(4)/(15)+(1)/(2)=(23)/(30)`

Explanation:

Given the expression

`(4)/(15)+\:(1)/(2)`

Thus, solving to reduce to the simplest term

`(4)/(15)+(1)/(2)`

LCM of 15, 2: 30

Adjusting fraction based on the LCM

so the expression becomes

`(4)/(15)+\:(1)/(2)=(8)/(30)+(15)/(30)`

Apply the fraction rule:
`(a)/(c)+(b)/(c)=(a+b)/(c)`

`=(8+15)/(30)`

Add the numbers: 8+15 = 23

`=(23)/(30)`

Therefore,
`(4)/(15)+\:(1)/(2)` in the simplest term is:

`(4)/(15)+(1)/(2)=(23)/(30)`
