How to Add Frations

If you have a numbers like 2/5 + 3/5 and you were asked to add them the denominator will be the same and you add 2+3 = 5and the answer would be 1 because the fraction is 5/5. So that is 1. If you have 2/6+4/5 you have to find the lowest common denominator witch is 30 than 6 goes into 30 five  times so 2 times 5 is 10 and the fraction. 10/30 would be that fraction and 5 goes into 30 six times and 4 times 6 is 24 the fraction would be 24/30 you add 10/30 +24/30 and the answer  would be 34/30 you wold have to turn that into a mixed number. The mixed number will be 1 4/30  and simplify it would be 1 2/15.
