Question

Kenneth did of 1/3 of his laundry on Sunday and 7/15 of his laundry on monday. what fraction of laundry did kenneth do in total?

​

Answer 1

So first find a common denominator.
It is 15. 1/3 turns into 5/15, because
3x5 = 15 & 5x1 = 5
There equaling 5/15
5/15 + 7/15 = 12/15
Both are divisible by 3
3 goes into 12, 4 times
3 goes into 15, 5 times
Giving you the final answer of 4/5

Answer 2

1/3 + 7/15 =

4/5


Therefore the answer is 4/5. So Kenneth did 4/5 of his laundry in total.


Hope this helps!
