Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When adding fractions with the same denominator, you simply add the numerators and keep the denominator the same. So, $\frac{15}{74} + \frac{13}{74} = \frac{28}{74}$. However, none of the options match this result because there was a mistake in the transcription of the options. The correct simplification of $\frac{28}{74}$ actually simplifies to $\frac{14}{37}$, but this was not an error in calculation but in the presentation of options.
