<PRE><B>Question 697927</B>
5/3 + 1/5


25/15 + 3/15


(25 + 3)/15


28/15


So 5/3 + 1/5 = 28/15


-------------------------------------------------------


Side Note:


5/3 = 25/15 after you multiply top and bottom by 5


1/5 = 3/15  after you multiply top and bottom by 3


We do this so the denominators are both equal to the LCD 15</PRE>
