To solve this, all you have to do is add 1/5 and 1/3.
Well, you might be thinking, "But the denominators are not the same! Fractions have to have like denominators in order to be added together!" And you are right. So, all we have to do, is make them both have the same denominator. To do this, we have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number to find an equivalent fraction.
For 1/5, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3, to get 3/15.
Likewise, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5, to get 5/15.
Now, you can easily add 3/15 and 5/15 because all you have to do is add the numerators, because the denominators are the same!
3/15+5/15=8/15, so she spends 8/15 hour on her math and social studies homework.
Hope I helped!
I’m not sure if this is a question, but yes, i like to use “PEMDAS”.
Parentheses, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract.
You always go in order from left to right!

Answer: The system of equation is,
2 ( x + y ) = 50
x = 2 y - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represents the length of the rectangular brownie and y represents the width of the rectangular brownie.
Thus, the perimeter of the brownie = 2 ( x + y )
But, According to the question,
Perimeter of the brownie = 50,
2 ( x + y ) = 50
The length of the brownie is 5 less than twice the width,
That is, x = 2 y - 5
Thus, the required system of equation is,
2 ( x + y ) = 50 , x = 2 y - 5
the answer to ur problem will be -7/5
