    Step-by-step explanation:

    The left hand side of the equation contains proper fractions while the right hand side of the equation contains mixed fraction. The mixed fraction can be changed to improper fraction. 1 2/3 becomes 5/3

    To breakdown the left hand side of the equation, we would take lowest common factor of 5 and 15. It is 15

    Considering 4/5, if 15 divides 5, the result is 3. Multiplying 3 by 4 gives 12. So it becomes

    12/15

    Considering 13/15, if 15 divides 15, the result is 1, Multiplying 1 by 13 gives 13. So it becomes

    13/15

    The equation becomes

    (12 + 13) / 15 = 5/3

    25/15 = 5/3

    Simplifying 25/15 to its lowest terms, it becomes 5/3 so

    5/3 = 5/3
