Just add 5 2/3 to 2 3/5! the answer is 8 4/15 workings: you can convert the fractions to an improper fraction and add them, it would be easier! 5 2/3 > 17/3 (eq 1) 2 3/5 > 13/5 (eq 2) after conversion, you must make the denominator the same, the common multiple is 15 take eq 1 multiply by 5 > 85/15 take eq 2 multiply by 3 > 39/15 85/15 + 39/15 = 124/15!! 124/15 convert back to mixed fraction > 8 4/15 hope it helped :D
