What is the sum of all positive common fractions (in simplest terms) less than $5$ whose denominator is 3?

It's actually not hard to just list all the numbers out. 

 

We have

13,23,43,53,73,83,103,113,133,143

 

The ones we excluded from this list, like 3/3 and 6/3 are not in simplest form, therefore eliminated. 

 

Now, adding all these values up, we get 75/3=25

 

That means 25 is our answer!

 

Thanks! :)
