Question

Answer 1

Answer is 1/3
Here’s my work shown

Answer 2

Answer:

= $\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, plug-in y for 1/3 since y = 1/3

$\frac{1}{5} (\frac{1}{3} ) + \frac{4}{15}$

then multiply first according to the order of operations, then do the addition:

$\frac{1}{5} * \frac{1}{3} =\frac{1}{15}$

$\frac{1}{15} + \frac{4}{15}$ = $\frac{5}{15}$

then reduce:

$\frac{5}{15} \to \frac{2}{3}$
