Question

Simplify: $3\frac{1}{3}+4\frac{3}{5}$

Answer 1

$3\frac{1}{3}+4\frac{4}{5}$

$=\frac{10}{3}+\frac{24}{5}$

Since, the LCM of $3,5$ is $3\times 5=15$

Now,

$\frac{10}{3}+\frac{24}{5}$

$=\frac{10}{3}\times \frac{5}{5}+\frac{24}{5}\times \frac{3}{3}$

$=\frac{50}{15}+\frac{72}{15}$

$=\frac{122}{15}$

$=8\frac{2}{15}$

$\therefore 3\frac{1}{3}+4\frac{4}{5}=8\frac{2}{15}$
