Add the following:
$3\frac{1}{5} + 2\frac{1}{3}$
Given :
The given expression is $3\frac{1}{5} +2\frac{1}{3}$.
To do :
We have to add the given expressions.
Solution :
To add mixed fractions, we have to first convert them to improper fractions.
$3\frac{1}{5} +2\frac{1}{3} =\frac{3\times 5+1}{5} +\frac{2\times 3+1}{3}$
$=\frac{15+1}{5} +\frac{6+1}{3}$
$=\frac{16}{5} +\frac{7}{3}$
LCM of 3 and 5 is $3\times 5 = 15$.
$\frac{16}{5} +\frac{7}{3} =\frac{16\times 3+7\times 5}{15}$
$=\frac{48+35}{15}$
$=\frac{83}{15}$
Therefore, the sum of $3\frac{1}{5} +2\frac{1}{3}$ is $\frac{83}{15}$.
