Answer:

FIND the LEAST common denominator or LCM of the two DENOMINATORS:

LCM of 15 and 5 is 15

Next, find the EQUIVALENT fraction of both fractional numbers with denominator 15

For the 1st fraction, since 15 × 1 = 15,

4 × 1

15 × 1

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 5 × 3 = 15,

1 × 3

5 × 3

Add the two like fractions:

4 + 3

So, 4/15 + 1/5 = 7/15
