Question

What is 3/5 plus 3/8

Answer 1

First I have to find the LCD And I got 24/40 & 15/40 Then when I got that I added both together and I got 30/40

Answer 2

Every time you want to add 2 fractions, they need to have the same denominator.
Since 8 and 5 are not factors of the same number, you multiply 3/5 by 8, and 3/8 by 5. So you get:

`(3*8)/(5*8) + (3*5)/(8*5)`

`(24)/(40) + (15)/(40)`

`(24+15)/(40)`

`(39)/(40)`

Hope this Helps! :D
