$8 \frac{2}{15}$ $8 2/15$

Work with the whole numbers first, and then deal with the fractions,

$4 \frac{4}{5} + 3 \frac{1}{3}$ $color(blue)(4) 4/5 + color(blue)(3) 1/3$

$= 7 + \frac{4}{5} + \frac{1}{3} \leftarrow$ $=color(blue)(7) +4/5+1/3" "larr$ the $L C M = 15$ $LCM = 15$

Make equivalent fractions with $15$ $15$ in each denominator

$= 7 + (\frac{4}{5} \times \frac{3}{3}) + (\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{5}{5})$ $=7 + (4/5 xx 3/3) + (1/3 xx5/5)$

$= 7 + \frac{12}{15} + \frac{5}{15}$ $=7 +12/15 +5/15$

$= 7 \frac{12 + 5}{15}$ $= 7 (12+5)/15$

$= 7 \frac{17}{15} \leftarrow change \frac{17}{15}$ $=7 17/15" "larr " change " 17/15$ into a mixed number

$= 7 + 1 \frac{2}{15}$ $=7 +1 2/15$

$= 8 \frac{2}{15}$ $=8 2/15$
