(6/5) + (1/15) using LCM Method:
What is 6/5 plus 1/15 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 6/5
Fraction B: 1/15

What to be found?
(6/5) + (1/15) = ?
Find what's the sum of 6/5 and 1/15.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 6/5 and 1/15 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 6/5 and 1/15 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 5 and 15 is 15.

step 4 Write the fractions 6/5 and 1/15 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 6/5 + 1/15
= [(6 x 15)/(5 x 15)] + [(1 x 15)/(15 x 15)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 18/15 + 1/15

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/15 x (18/1 + 1/1)
= 1/15 x (18 + 1)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/15 x 19
= 19/15
6/5 + 1/15 = 19/15

Hence,
6/5 plus 1/15 as a fraction is 19/15.
