$$3 \frac { 2 } { 5 } + \frac { 6 } { 9 } =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{61}{15}\approx 4.066666667$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 3 and 5 to get 15.

$$\frac{15+2}{5}+\frac{6}{9}$$

Add 15 and 2 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{5}+\frac{6}{9}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{9} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
