Question
Add $\frac{2}{5}$ to $\frac{1}{3}$.
✓
Answer
Here, $LCM$ of $5$ and $3$ is $15$.
Therefore, $\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2 \times 3}{5 \times 3}+\frac{1 \times 5}{3 \times 5}=\frac{6}{15}+\frac{5}{15}=\frac{11}{15}$
Therefore, $\frac{2}{5}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{2 \times 3}{5 \times 3}+\frac{1 \times 5}{3 \times 5}=\frac{6}{15}+\frac{5}{15}=\frac{11}{15}$
