Question

What is the sum of the two largest numbers in the list $$\frac 13,~\frac 27,~\frac 3{10},~\frac 4{13},~\frac 5{17}~?$$ Express your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

`(25)/(39)`

Explanation:

`\frac 13,~\frac 27,~\frac 3{10},~\frac 4{13},~\frac 5{17}~?`

Convert them to fractions with their L.C.D (lowest common denominator)

`\frac {15470}{46410},~\frac {13260}{46410},~\frac {13923}{46410},~\frac {14280}{46410},~\frac {13650}{46410}~?`

hence the two largest are

`(1)/(3) \: and \: (4)/(13)`

`(1)/(3) + (4)/(13) = (25)/(39)`

BRAINLEST PLS... ;-)
