Gail read 2/15 of a book on Monday and 3/5 of the book on Tuesday. What fraction of the book did she read on Monday and Tuesday?

Answer 1

Kennedy Adams

Gail read # 11/15# of the book.

#2/15 + 3/5#

15 is the least common denominator.

#2/15 + 3/5 = 2/15 + (3xx3)/(5xx5) #

#= 2/15 + 9/15#

#= 11/15#
