To find the fraction of money that Chrissy spent, we need to find the sum of the fractions for paint and paper.
Chrissy spent 1/5 of her money on paint and 1/3 of her money on paper.
To add fractions with a different denominator, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15.
1/5 = (1/5) x (3/3) = 3/15
1/3 = (1/3) x (5/5) = 5/15
Now that we have a common denominator, we can add the fractions:
3/15 + 5/15 = 8/15
Therefore, Chrissy spent 8/15 of her money.
James and Luke took a three-day hike along the Appalachian Trail. The first day they hiked 4 1/6 miles, the second day they hiked 3 2/3 miles, and the third day they hiked 4 2/3 miles.

To find the total distance the boys hiked, we need to add up the distances from each day.
First Day: 4 1/6 miles = 4 + 1/6 = 24/6 + 1/6 = 25/6
Second Day: 3 2/3 miles = 3 + 2/3 = 18/6 + 2/3 = 20/6
Third Day: 4 2/3 miles = 4 + 2/3 = 24/6 + 2/3 = 26/6
Now let's add up the distances:
25/6 + 20/6 + 26/6 = (25 + 20 + 26) / 6 = 71/6
Therefore, the boys hiked a total distance of 71/6 miles.
To find the fraction of Chrissy's money that she spent, we need to add the fractions representing the amounts she spent on paint and paper.
Chrissy spent 1/5 of her money on paint and 1/3 of her money on paper.
To add fractions, their denominators must be equal. To achieve this, find a common denominator for 5 and 3, which is 15.
Now, convert the fractions to have the same denominator:
1/5 = 3/15 (multiplied the numerator and denominator of 1/5 by 3)
1/3 = 5/15 (multiplied the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5)
Now, add the fractions:
3/15 + 5/15 = 8/15
Therefore, Chrissy spent 8/15 of her money on art supplies.
To find the fraction of money Chrissy spent, we need to calculate the sum of the fractions spent on paint and paper.
First, we'll figure out the fraction Chrissy spent on paint. We are given that she spent 1/5 of her money on paint.
Next, we'll determine the fraction Chrissy spent on paper. We are told that she spent 1/3 of her money on paper.
To calculate the total fraction of money Chrissy spent, we add the fractions spent on paint and paper:
1/5 + 1/3
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15.
Converting 1/5 and 1/3 to have a denominator of 15:
1/5 * 3/3 = 3/15
1/3 * 5/5 = 5/15
Now, we can add the fractions:
3/15 + 5/15 = 8/15
Therefore, Chrissy spent 8/15 of her money on art supplies.
