The common denominator would be the first number divisible by both 3 and 5. In this case, it's 15. 3x5=15. After getting the common denominator, you multiply 2 by 3 and 5 respectively, giving you 6/15 and 10/15 to work with as you need.

Answer:

1 fifteenth, or 1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 3 sons multiply the fraction by 3 and then you have 12/15 because 12/15 is equal to 4/5, so the remaining is 3 out of 15, so divide that between the 3 sons and boom, 1/15th per son.
