14/15 is the two fractions added together in a simplified form.

To solve this problem

We must identify a shared denominator. Here, 15 is the common denominator of 5 and 3.

Let's first rewrite the fractions using the common denominator as follows:

By multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3, 3/5 becomes 9/15.

By multiplying the numerator and denominator by 5, 1/3 becomes 5/15.

Now that the fractions have the same denominator, we can add the numerators:

9/15 + 5/15 = 14/15

So, 3/5 + 1/3 = 14/15.
