Answer 1

Start by finding the common denominator of 3 and 5 , closest one is 15 ,

Answer 2

what did you have to multiply to 3 to get 15, 5 so multiply the numerator 1 by 5 = 5 , and likewise for the 2 = 10.

Answer 3

now add them , 5/15 + 10/15 = 15/15 , now to find out the average , multiply by 1/2 , which is the same as dividing by 2

Answer 4

15/15 x 1/2 = 15/30

Answer 5

Notice that 15 is half of 30. So simplify it to 1/2

Answer 6

The answer is C 1/2
