= [(10 x 15)/(3 x 15)] + [(11 x 15)/(15 x 15)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 50/15 + 11/15

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/15 x (50/1 + 11/1)
= 1/15 x (50 + 11)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/15 x 61
= 61/15
10/3 + 11/15 = 61/15
