    The total whole number area of the square = 1.

    Part A + Part B + Part C = 1.

    1/3 + 2/5 + C = 1.

    (5 + 6) / 15 + C = 1. LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.

    11/15 + C = 1.

    C = 1/1 - 11/15 = (15 - 11) / 15

    C = 4/15.

    Cheers.

    1/3 = 5/15

    2/5 = 6/15

    5/15 + 6/15 = 11/15

    15/15 - 11/15 = 4/15

    Part C = 4/15
