Question
Find the sum $\frac{5}{3}+\frac{3}{5}$
✓
Answer
As the denominators are different find the $LCM$ of $3 \& 5$
$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{3}{5}$$LCM$ of $3$ and $5$ is $15$
So,$5\over 3$=$5\times 5\over 3\times 5$and$3\over 5$=$3\times 3\over 5\times 3$
Thus, $\frac{5}{3}+\frac{3}{5}=\frac{25}{15}+\frac{9}{15}$
$\frac{25+9}{15}=\frac{34}{15}=2 \frac{4}{15}$
$\frac{5}{3}+\frac{3}{5}$$LCM$ of $3$ and $5$ is $15$
So,$5\over 3$=$5\times 5\over 3\times 5$and$3\over 5$=$3\times 3\over 5\times 3$
Thus, $\frac{5}{3}+\frac{3}{5}=\frac{25}{15}+\frac{9}{15}$
$\frac{25+9}{15}=\frac{34}{15}=2 \frac{4}{15}$
