Option C

1715

Solution :

The correct option is 1715.

To add the fractions 23 and 45, we need to follow a few simple steps:

Step 1: Find a common denominator.
The denominators of the two fractions are 3 and 5. Since 3 and 5 are prime numbers, their Least Common Multiple (LCM) is:
3×5=15

Step 2: Convert each fraction into an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 15.

For the first fraction, 23, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5:
23=2×53×5=1015

For the second fraction, 45, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3:
45=4×35×3=1215

Step 3: Add the numerators while keeping the common denominator.

1015+1215=10+1215=2215

Step 4: Convert the improper fraction to a mixed fraction.
Divide the numerator (22) by the denominator (15):
22 ÷ 15 = 1 with a remainder of 7.

Thus, 2215 can be written as the mixed number:
