Question

$$| \frac{ 1 }{ 5 } |+| \frac{ -2 }{ 15 } |+| \frac{ 1 }{ 5 } |+| \frac{ -4 }{ 15 } |+| \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } |$$

Evaluate

$\frac{17}{15}\approx 1.133333333$

Solution Steps

The absolute value of a real number $a$ is $a$ when $a\geq 0$, or $-a$ when $a<0$. The absolute value of $\frac{1}{5}$ is $\frac{1}{5}$.

$$\frac{1}{5}+|\frac{-2}{15}|+|\frac{1}{5}|+|\frac{-4}{15}|+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

Fraction $\frac{-2}{15}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{2}{15}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$\frac{1}{5}+|-\frac{2}{15}|+|\frac{1}{5}|+|\frac{-4}{15}|+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

The absolute value of a real number $a$ is $a$ when $a\geq 0$, or $-a$ when $a<0$. The absolute value of $-\frac{2}{15}$ is $\frac{2}{15}$.

$$\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{15}+|\frac{1}{5}|+|\frac{-4}{15}|+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

Least common multiple of $5$ and $15$ is $15$. Convert $\frac{1}{5}$ and $\frac{2}{15}$ to fractions with denominator $15$.

$$\frac{3}{15}+\frac{2}{15}+|\frac{1}{5}|+|\frac{-4}{15}|+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

Since $\frac{3}{15}$ and $\frac{2}{15}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{3+2}{15}+|\frac{1}{5}|+|\frac{-4}{15}|+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

Add $3$ and $2$ to get $5$.

$$\frac{5}{15}+|\frac{1}{5}|+|\frac{-4}{15}|+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{5}{15}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $5$.

$$\frac{1}{3}+|\frac{1}{5}|+|\frac{-4}{15}|+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

The absolute value of a real number $a$ is $a$ when $a\geq 0$, or $-a$ when $a<0$. The absolute value of $\frac{1}{5}$ is $\frac{1}{5}$.

$$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{5}+|\frac{-4}{15}|+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $5$ is $15$. Convert $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{5}$ to fractions with denominator $15$.

$$\frac{5}{15}+\frac{3}{15}+|\frac{-4}{15}|+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

Since $\frac{5}{15}$ and $\frac{3}{15}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+3}{15}+|\frac{-4}{15}|+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

Add $5$ and $3$ to get $8$.

$$\frac{8}{15}+|\frac{-4}{15}|+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

Fraction $\frac{-4}{15}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{4}{15}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$\frac{8}{15}+|-\frac{4}{15}|+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

The absolute value of a real number $a$ is $a$ when $a\geq 0$, or $-a$ when $a<0$. The absolute value of $-\frac{4}{15}$ is $\frac{4}{15}$.

$$\frac{8}{15}+\frac{4}{15}+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

Since $\frac{8}{15}$ and $\frac{4}{15}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{8+4}{15}+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

Add $8$ and $4$ to get $12$.

$$\frac{12}{15}+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{12}{15}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $3$.

$$\frac{4}{5}+|\frac{1}{3}|$$

The absolute value of a real number $a$ is $a$ when $a\geq 0$, or $-a$ when $a<0$. The absolute value of $\frac{1}{3}$ is $\frac{1}{3}$.

$$\frac{4}{5}+\frac{1}{3}$$

Least common multiple of $5$ and $3$ is $15$. Convert $\frac{4}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ to fractions with denominator $15$.

$$\frac{12}{15}+\frac{5}{15}$$

Since $\frac{12}{15}$ and $\frac{5}{15}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{12+5}{15}$$

Add $12$ and $5$ to get $17$.

$$\frac{17}{15}$$
