You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,
The key is to get the denominators the same.
So for this 4/5 + 2/3 multiply the first by 3/3 to get:
12/15
The second fraction multiply it by 5/5 and we get:
10/15
Now add them to get:
22/15 which can be rewritten as: (Maybe your subtracting wrong. 22-15=7)
1 7/15
Make sense?
