Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Those are fractions, are they not? I'll treat them that way.
[tex]\dfrac{2}{5}+\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex]
Find the lowest common denominator.
You need 1 three and 1 five.
2/5 = (2*3)/(5 * 3) = 6 / 15
2/3 = (2*5)/(3*5) = 10 /15
[tex]\dfrac{2}{5}+ \dfrac{2}{3}=[/tex] [tex]\dfrac{6}{15}+\dfrac{10}{15}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{2}{5}+ \dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{16}{15}[/tex] Just add the numerators.
It is reduced. There are other ways to write it
16/15 = 1 1/15 is one of them
