Sum of  
4/5
and
11/5
in Simplest Form

Given:  
4/5
+
11/5

Since the denominators are common (the same), we can add the numerators:
4/5
+
11/5
=
4 + 11/5
=
15/5
However,  
15/5
 is NOT in Simplest Form since the Greatest Common Factor of 5 and 15 does not equal 1, GCF(5, 15) ≠ 1
Upon inspection, the GCF(5, 15) = 5
In Simplest Form,  
15/5
=
15 ÷ 5/5 ÷ 5
=
3/1
= 3
Therefore, the Sum of  
4/5
and
11/5
is equal to 3 in Simplest Form:  
4/5
+
11/5
= 3
