You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{5}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{11}{15} = 0.7\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{2}{5}\) is \(15\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{3} + \frac{2}{5} &= \frac{1 \cdot 5}{3 \cdot 5} + \frac{2 \cdot 3}{5 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{5 + 6}{15} \\ &= \frac{11}{15} \end{aligned} \]
