To evaluate the sum 10/15 + 1/4, we need to find a common denominator.

Step 1: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 4.
The multiples of 15 are: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, ...
The multiples of 4 are: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, ...
The LCM of 15 and 4 is 60.

Step 2: Rewrite the fractions with the common denominator 60.
10/15 = (10*4)/(15*4) = 40/60
1/4 = (1*15)/(4*15) = 15/60

Now, we can add the fractions:
40/60 + 15/60 = (40 + 15)/60 = 55/60

The simplified form of the sum 10/15 + 1/4 is 55/60.
