To solve \( 5 \frac{2}{9}+\frac{3}{5} \), first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction: \( 5 \frac{2}{9} = \frac{47}{9} \). Next, find a common denominator for \(\frac{47}{9}\) and \(\frac{3}{5}\), which is 45. Convert both fractions: \(\frac{47}{9} = \frac{235}{45}\) and \(\frac{3}{5} = \frac{27}{45}\). Add them together: \(\frac{235 + 27}{45} = \frac{262}{45}\). Now for \( \frac{15}{16}-\frac{3}{13} \), the common denominator is 208. Convert each fraction: \(\frac{15}{16} = \frac{195}{208}\) and \(\frac{3}{13} = \frac{48}{208}\). Subtract: \(\frac{195 - 48}{208} = \frac{147}{208}\). So the answers are \( \frac{262}{45} \) and \( \frac{147}{208} \).
