Question

6: REDUCE to simplest term. 4/1 + 15/2​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{4}{15}+\:\frac{1}{2}$ in the simplest term is:

$\frac{4}{15}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{23}{30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{4}{15}+\:\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, solving to reduce to the simplest term

$\frac{4}{15}+\frac{1}{2}$

LCM of 15, 2: 30

Adjusting fraction based on the LCM

so the expression becomes

$\frac{4}{15}+\:\frac{1}{2}=\frac{8}{30}+\frac{15}{30}$

Apply the fraction rule:      $\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a+b}{c}$

            $=\frac{8+15}{30}$

Add the numbers: 8+15 = 23

            $=\frac{23}{30}$

Therefore, $\frac{4}{15}+\:\frac{1}{2}$ in the simplest term is:

$\frac{4}{15}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{23}{30}$
