Answer:
3 plus 27 divided by (4 plus 5) = 6
Find the sum 1/3 plus 2/5 = 11/15
Explanation:
Find the sum 1/3 plus 2/5
Step 1
Can you add yet? Nope! The denominators don't match. We need a common denominator. So next we take both denominators and multiply them. Next, take each numerator and multiply it by the denominator of the other term.
So, we multiply 1 by 5, and get 5, then we multiply 3 by 5 and get 15.
1/3 times 5
Now for the second term. You multiply 2 by 3, and get 6, then multiply 3 by 5 and get 15.
2/5 times 3
We now have a new problem, that looks like this:
5
15
+
6
15
Step 2
Since our denominators match, we can add the numerators.
5 + 6 = 11
Answer:
11 /15
Step 3
Now, do we need to simplify this fraction?
1 /3 + 2 /5= 11 /15
