1/3+2/3=1. You simply add the numbers on the top of the fraction.
1+5/3= 2and2/3
Since 3/3 = 1, 5/3 = 1+2/3
So 1+1+2/3=2and2/3
3/5+1/2
To calculate the sum of fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the denominators for all three fractions are the same, which is 3. Therefore, we can add the numerators directly to get the answer.
1/3 + 2/3 + 5/3
= (1 + 2 + 5)/3
= 8/3
Therefore, the answer is 8/3.
