Question

Simplify : $\frac{3}{5}$ + $\frac{2}{15}$ - $\frac{4}{15}$.
$\left[3\right]$

Answer 1

We will solve using BODMAS rule i.e. first we will add and then subtract.
We have ($\frac{3}{5}$ + $\frac{2}{15}$) - $\frac{4}{15}$

Addition:
$\frac{3}{5}$ + $\frac{2}{15}$ = $\frac{3\times 3}{5\times 3}$ + $\frac{2}{15}$ = $\frac{9+2}{15}$ = $\frac{11}{15}$
$\left[2\right]$
Now, we get :
$\frac{11}{15}$ - $\frac{4}{15}$

Subtracting :
$\frac{11}{15}$ - $\frac{4}{15}$ = $\frac{7}{15}$.
$\left[1\right]$
