Add the following fractions: 2/15 + 1/3?
To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 15 and 3 is 15.
Next, we need to find equivalent fractions with a denominator of 15:
2/15 = (2/15) * (1/1) = 2/15
1/3 = (1/3) * (5/5) = 5/15
Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them together:
2/15 + 1/3 = 2/15 + 5/15 = (2 + 5) / 15 = 7/15
The sum of 2/15 and 1/3 is 7/15.
