Respuesta :

I think that it is D or A

given:

[tex] \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{3} [/tex]

to find:

the simplest form.

solution:

[tex] \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1 \times 3}{5 \times 3} + \frac{1 \times 5}{3 \times 5} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{1}{15} + \frac{5}{15} + \frac{3}{15} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{1 + 3 + 5}{15} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{9}{15} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{3}{5} [/tex]

therefore, the correct answer is option A.
