Question

Blake said 4/5+1/3 =5/8 does his answer make sense explain. please help

Answer 1

Hey there!

The answer is no because whenever you add or subtract fractions, you find the common denominator(the bottom of the fraction)

Corret way:
The common denominator is 15 (5*3)
Multiply numerator(top) and the denominator by 3 
4/5*3*3= 12/15
Multiply numerator and the denominator by 5
1/3*5/5= 5/15
So the equation is now
12/15+5/15= 17/15 or 1 2/15

Hope this helps! :)
