Решение:
a) \(\frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{2 \cdot 5}{3 \cdot 5} + \frac{4 \cdot 3}{5 \cdot 3} = \frac{10}{15} + \frac{12}{15} = \frac{10 + 12}{15} = \frac{22}{15} = 1 \frac{7}{15}\)
б) \(2 \frac{3}{8} + 1 \frac{1}{4} = 2 \frac{3}{8} + 1 \frac{1 \cdot 2}{4 \cdot 2} = 2 \frac{3}{8} + 1 \frac{2}{8} = (2+1) + (\frac{3}{8} + \frac{2}{8}) = 3 + \frac{5}{8} = 3 \frac{5}{8}\)
Ответ: a) \(1 \frac{7}{15}\); б) \(3 \frac{5}{8}\)
