Explanation:

Step1: Find a common denominator

The denominators are 15 and 3. The least common denominator is 15. Rewrite \(\frac{1}{3}\) with denominator 15: \(\frac{1\times5}{3\times5}=\frac{5}{15}\)

Step2: Add the fractions

Step3: Simplify the result

Simplify \(\frac{10}{15}\) by dividing numerator and denominator by 5: \(\frac{10\div5}{15\div5}=\frac{2}{3}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{2}{3}\)
