When you have the same denominator you can just add the numerators but not the denominator

For example:

[tex] \frac{3}{15} + \frac{5}{15} = \frac{8}{15} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation: To add like fractions or fractions or fractions that have the same denominator, simply add the numerators and keep the original denominator.

Let's try an example.

[tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{5}{13}[/tex] = ?

In this example, if we add the numerators we have 1 + 5 which gives us 6 and we put this over our original denominator which is 13. Therefore, 1/13 + 5/13 .  gives us 6/13 which is in lowest terms.
