Find the value of $\frac{3}{20} + \frac{8}{15}$.

Given:

$\frac{3}{20} + \frac{8}{15}$.

To do:
We have to find the value of $\frac{3}{20} + \frac{8}{15}$.
Solution: 

To find the value of $\frac{3}{20} + \frac{8}{15}$, find the LCM of denominators.

LCM of $20$ and $15$ is $60$.

$\frac{3}{20} + \frac{8}{15}=\frac{3\times3}{20\times3}+\frac{8\times4}{15\times4}$

$=\frac{9}{60}+\frac{32}{60}$

$=\frac{9+32}{60}$

$=\frac{41}{60}$

Therefore,

$\frac{3}{20} + \frac{8}{15}=\frac{41}{60}$.
