• A. $\frac{45}{50}$
• B. $\frac{50}{55}$
• C. $\frac{55}{50}$
• D. $\frac{65}{50}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{55}{50}$

First fraction = $\frac{6}{15}$ = $\frac{2}{5}$

Second Fraction = $\frac{35}{50}$

Sum of two fractions= $\frac{2}{5}$ + $\frac{35}{50}$
=$\frac{(2\times 10)+(35\times 1)}{50}=\frac{55}{50}$
