Q. Evaluate the expression shown below and write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.\newline513+213 \frac{5}{13}+\frac{2}{13} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify common denominator: Identify the common denominator.\newlineBoth fractions have the same denominator, which is 1313. This means we can add the numerators directly.
  2. Add numerators: Add the numerators.\newline(513)+(213)=(5+213)(\frac{5}{13}) + (\frac{2}{13}) = (\frac{5 + 2}{13})
  3. Perform addition: Perform the addition. 5+2=75 + 2 = 7
  4. Write result as fraction: Write the result as a fraction.\newlineThe sum of the fractions is (713)(\frac{7}{13}).
  5. Check for simplification: Check if the fraction can be simplified.\newlineThe fraction (713)(\frac{7}{13}) is already in its simplest form because 77 and 1313 have no common factors other than 11.
