Answer:

3/5+1/3= 9/15+5/15= 14/15

Explanation:

Hi there!

To make fractions have a common denominator, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by a number. In this case, 3/5= 9/15, because both the numerator and denominator are multiplied by 3. 1/3= 5/15, using the same rule. 9/15+5/15=14/15

Hope this helped! If it did, pls press the heart :)
