Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 1+3v5w______
Identify common denominator: Identify the common denominator for the fractions in the expression.Since we have a whole number1 and a fraction (v5w)/3, we need to express the whole number as a fraction with the same denominator as the given fraction to combine them. The common denominator is 3.
Convert whole number to fraction: Convert the whole number to a fraction with the common denominator.We multiply the whole number 1 by 33 to get a fraction with the denominator 3. This gives us 33.
Combine fractions: Combine the fractions.Now we add the two fractions with the common denominator:(33)+(3v5w)=33+v5w
Check for further simplification: Check if the resulting fraction can be simplified further.The numerator 3+v5w does not have any common factors with the denominator 3, so the fraction is already in its simplest form.
