Solve 1+3+1/5+1/3

$$1 + 3 + \frac { 1 } { 5 } + \frac { 1 } { 3 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{68}{15}\approx 4.533333333$$

Solution Steps

Add 1 and 3 to get 4.

$$4+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{20}{5}.

$$\frac{20}{5}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Since \frac{20}{5} and \frac{1}{5} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{20+1}{5}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Add 20 and 1 to get 21.

$$\frac{21}{5}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15. Convert \frac{21}{5} and \frac{1}{3} to fractions with denominator 15.

$$\frac{63}{15}+\frac{5}{15}$$

Since \frac{63}{15} and \frac{5}{15} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{63+5}{15}$$

Add 63 and 5 to get 68.

$$\frac{68}{15}$$

Factor

$$\frac{2 ^ {2} \cdot 17}{3 \cdot 5} = 4\frac{8}{15} = 4.533333333333333$$
