Question

Solve the equation by creating equivalent denominators. two thirds plus three fifths.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{19}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write out the equation

$=\frac{2}{3} +\frac{3}{5}$

Step 2: Simplify

You first have to find a common denominator which in this case is 15.  To turn the first denominator 3 to 15 we have to multiply the numerator and denominator by 5 which gives you $\frac{10}{15}$ and the second fraction buy 3 to get the denominator to turn into 15 which gives you $\frac{9}{15}$

Step 3: Solve

Now the 2 fractions have the same denominator we can add the 2 numerators together and keep the same denominator

$=\frac{9}{15} +\frac{10}{15} \\=\frac{19}{15}$

Step 4: Therefore Statement

Therefore the statement is equal to $\frac{19}{15}$
