step 4 Write the fractions 2/5 and 6/19 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
=2/5+6/19
=(2 x 95)/(5 x 95)+(6 x 95)/(19 x 95)
step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
=38/95+30/95
step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
=1/95 x (38/1+30/1)
=1/95 x (38 + 30)
step 7Simplify the above expression further:
=1/95 x 68
=68/95
2/5+6/19=68/95
