Solve the Fraction Addition: 2/5 + 3/6 Step-by-Step

Solve the following exercise:

$\frac{2}{5}+\frac{3}{6}=$

Let's try to find the lowest common denominator between 5 and 6

To find the lowest common denominator, we need to find a number that is divisible by both 5 and 6

In this case, the common denominator is 30

Now we'll multiply each fraction by the appropriate number to reach the denominator 30

We'll multiply the first fraction by 6

We'll multiply the second fraction by 5

$\frac{2\times6}{5\times6}+\frac{3\times5}{6\times5}=\frac{12}{30}+\frac{15}{30}$

Now we'll combine and get:

$\frac{12+15}{30}=\frac{27}{30}$
