Question

What is `8/15 + 12/25`?

Answer 1

`8/15+12/25=1 1/75`

Explanation:

To add `8/15` and `12/25`, we should first find Least Common Divisor of `15` and `25`.

As factors of `15` are `5xx3` and of `25` are `5xx5`, Least Common Divisor would be `5xx5xx3=75`.

Hence `8/15+12/25={8xx5)/(15xx5)+(12xx3)/(25xx3)` i.e.

`40/75+36/75=76/75=(75+1)/75=1 1/75`
