To reduce a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator equally until they reach the simplest whole number possible.
In this case, the numerator (720) and the denominator (1080) can both be divided by 360 to get 2/3, our reduced fraction.

Hey there!
When we're adding with different denominators, our goal is to keep the equivalent fraction, but create like denominators.
Let's think of an easier situation. If we have the number 5 and we want an equivalent number, we multiply by one. It's no different with fractions. We want to multiply by some version of one, like 2/2 or 4/4
For example, if we have:
2/8 + 4/6
Our LCM is 24. Therefore, we multiply 2/8 by 3/3:
2/8(3/3) = 6/24
And 4/6 by 4/4:
4/6(4/4) = 16/24
As you can see, we multiplied by versions of 1, so they're still the same fraction.
We have:
16/24 + 6/24 = 22/24 = 11/12

Answer:
360 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
When trying to find the number of hours out of the number of days someone has been doing something, assuming that she spent all 15 days traveling with no rest, you just multiply however many days (In this case, 15 days) by 24 hours.
This gives us the equation 15 times 24, which then equals 360.
A way I check these is that I divide however many hours I got by 24 and make sure it equals our first number.
We get the equation 360 divided by 24, which does, in fact, equal 15.
