To add/subtract fractions, the denominators (bottom numbers) must be equal; so first convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then the numerators (top numbers) are added/subtracted and the resulting fraction simplified:
1/3 + 3/5 = (1×5)/(3×5) + (3×3)/(5×3)
= 5/15 + 9/15
= (5+9)/15
= 14/15
