First of all, you add 1/3 and 4/5, so you get:
\(\frac{1}{3} + \frac{4}{5}\)

To add 2 fractions, they need to have the same denominator. Since 3 and 5 don't have a common factor, so you multiply 1/3 by 5, and 4/5 by 3, so you get:
\(\frac{1*5}{3*5} + \frac{4*3}{5*3}\)
\(\frac{5}{15} + \frac{12}{15}\)

Now, the two fractions got the same denominator, and you can add them by adding the numerators over the same denominator. (You don't add denominators in addition) so you get:
\(\frac{5+12}{15}\)
\(\frac{17}{15}\)

That's the sum of 1/3 + 4/5.

Now, they want the sum of the 2 fractions 7 times. So you multiply 17/15 by 7. And as you know, 7 = 7/1. So you get:
\(\frac{17}{15} * \frac{7}{1}\)

In multiplication no need to have the same denominator. You multiply nominators by nominators and denominators by denominators. So you get:
\(\frac{17*7}{15*1}\)
\(\frac{119}{15}\)

Since 119 and 15 don't have a common factor, so they can't be simplified.
So, the answer is 119/15. 

Hope this Helps! :D

What you have to do first is to add \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{4}{5}\),

Further Explanation

Therefore we have:

= \(\frac{1}{3}\) + \(\frac{4}{5}\)

= ( \(\frac{1}{3}\) + \(\frac{4}{5}\) ) / 15 (15 is the smallest number that divide both denominator also known as LCD)

= (5 x 1) + (3 x 4) / 15

= 5 + 12 / 15

= \(\frac{17}{15}\)

Therefore, the sum of \(\frac{1}{3}\) + \(\frac{4}{5}\) is \(\frac{17}{15}\)

But since the question says you should determine the sum of the 2 fractions, therefore you should multiply \(\frac{17}{15}\) by 7. Therefore you should have:

\(\frac{17}{15}\) X 7 (7 can also be expressed as \(\frac{7}{1}\))

= \(\frac{17}{15}\) x \(\frac{7}{1}\) (notably, in multiplication there is no need for the fraction to have the same denominator. You can multiply both numbers at the top together (numerator) and do same with the denominator.

= \(\frac{119}{15}\)

= \(7\frac{14}{15}\)

Therefore, 7 times as much as the sum of \(\frac{1}{3}\) and \(\frac{4}{5}\) is \(7\frac{14}{15}\)
