10/3 + 17/5 = 50/15 + 51/15 = 101/15 = 6 and 11/15
There are 20 of them because 20/6 = 3 and 1/3
3 wholes and one-third = 3 1/3 = 10/3
the fraction 3 over 1 is equal to 3 wholes

There are three 1/3 in a whole. 3 is made of three wholes. There are therefore 3*3 = 9 thirds in 3 wholes.
10/3 + 17/5 = 50/15 + 51/15 = 101/15 = 6 and 11/15
There are 20 of them because 20/6 = 3 and 1/3
Ten of them because 10/3 = 3 and 1/3
