Sum of  
4/9
and
3/15
in Simplest Form

Given:  
4/9
+
3/15
, which equals  
4/9
+
1/5
  (second fraction simplified)
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 5 and 9:
LCD = LCM(5, 9) = 45
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (45):
4/9
=
20/45
  and  
1/5
=
9/45
As a result,  
4/9
+
1/5
=
20/45
+
9/45

Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can add the numerators:
20/45
+
9/45
=
20 + 9/45
=
29/45
29/45
is in Simplest Form since the Greatest Common Factor of 29 and 45 equals 1, GCF(29, 45) = 1
Therefore, the Sum of  
4/9
and
3/15
is equal to
29/45
in Simplest Form:  
4/9
+
3/15
=
29/45
