    D. 8/15

    Step-by-step explanation:

    4/5 = 2/3 + 1/3

    We need to multiply by 6 to find answer as 3 is a divider of 6

    4 x 6 = 24

    5 x 6 = 30

    24/30

    Then we find 1/2 of 30 and add this to make 3/3

    Just like 1/2 of 2 = 1 and 2+1 = 3

    30 / 2 = 15

    15 + 30 = 45

    The answer is 24/45

    We then reduce this fraction by 3 as 6 + 8 do not divide into 45

    24/45 = 8/15

    The answer is 8/15
