What is the sum of all positive common fractions (in simplest terms) less than $5$ whose denominator is 3?
We can easily just list the values we have
13,23,43,53,73,83,103,113,133,143
The numbers we excluded like 3/3 or 6/3 are not in simplest form, so we ignore them.
Adding all these fractions up, we get 75/3=25
So 25 is our answer.
Thanks! :)
