What is the sum of 2/3 + 1/6 + 2/5?

  • A. 1/3
  • B. 2/5
  • C. 1 & 7/30
  • D. 1 & 1/15
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3, 6, and 5 is 30. Convert each fraction to have the denominator 30. 2/3 becomes 20/30, 1/6 becomes 5/30, and 2/5 becomes 12/30. Adding these fractions gives us 20/30 + 5/30 + 12/30 = 37/30, which simplifies to 1 & 7/30. Therefore, the correct answer is 1 & 7/30.
