Answer:

14/15 or 0.93

Explanation:

First find a common denominator for both of them, which would be 15. Next, get both of them to it. So, since 8/15 is already there, just multiply 2/5 by 3/3 to get 6/15. 8/15 +6/15 (add the top, not the bottom) = 14/15

14/15 as a decimal is 0.93

(hope this helps :P)
