find lcm of the denominators (the bottom numbers) 8&5

lcm is 40

ask your self how many times can 40 be divided by 8? 5 times good job .

so you multiply top & bottom of tht fraction by 8

4×8=32 5×8=40

new fractions are 15/40 & 32/40

we did all of that to get fractions with the same denominator because fractions with like denominators are easy to add you add the top numbers & keep the bottom.

15+32=47

47/40 now this fraction can be simplified to a mixed number
