Jose has 3/5 kilogram of peppermints and 2/3 kilogram of candy canes. How many kilograms of candy does he have?

The easiest way to do this is to multiply the denominators by each other.

5*3=15

Now, all we have to do is multiply the numerators by what we multiplied the denominators by, to make it equal.

3*3=9

2*5=10

Now all we have to do is add.

9/15+10/15=19/15 or 1 and 4/15.

Hope this helps!
