Answer 2

Convert le fractions to whole numbers or decimals.  So multiply the whole number to the denominator and then make them equal to each other.  That would make 15 over 8 and 8 over 3.  Now you have to make those two numbers denominators the same.  So multiply 8 by 3 to get 24, and 3 by 8 to get 24.  Then multiply the numerators by 3 and by 8.  Add 45 over 24 and 64 over 24.  Then simplify and then theres yo answer.  It is 4 13/24
