Question

1. first make like units, and then add.

a. \\(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{7} =\\)
c. \\(\frac{3}{8} + \frac{3}{7} =\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Find common denominator (28)

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 7}{4 \times 7} = \frac{21}{28}$, $\frac{1}{7} = \frac{1 \times 4}{7 \times 4} = \frac{4}{28}$

Step2: Add the numerators

$\frac{21}{28} + \frac{4}{28} = \frac{21 + 4}{28}$

Step3: Simplify the sum

$\frac{25}{28}$

Step1: Find common denominator (56)

$\frac{3}{8} = \frac{3 \times 7}{8 \times 7} = \frac{21}{56}$, $\frac{3}{7} = \frac{3 \times 8}{7 \times 8} = \frac{24}{56}$

Step2: Add the numerators

$\frac{21}{56} + \frac{24}{56} = \frac{21 + 24}{56}$

Step3: Simplify the sum

$\frac{45}{56}$

Answer:

a. $\frac{25}{28}$
c. $\frac{45}{56}$
