Bot GPT 3.5 To add fractions, you need to have a common denominator.
Given the fractions 4/15 and 1/3, we can find a common denominator by multiplying the denominators together:
15 * 3 = 45
Now, we can convert the fractions to have a denominator of 45:
4/15 = (4 * 3) / (15 * 3) = 12/45
1/3 = (1 * 15) / (3 * 15) = 15/45
Now, add the fractions:
12/45 + 15/45 = (12 + 15) / 45 = 27/45
Simplifying the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 9:
27/45 = (27/9) / (45/9) = 3/5
Therefore, 4/15 + 1/3 = 3/5.
