OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the common factor in multiplying which is easiest when you multiply the two denominators the 1/3 if you multiply by 8 gives 8/24 and the 7/8 gives 21/24 when multiplied by 3. now that you have common denominators add 8/24 and 21/24

OpenStudy (stormfire1):

David has it right...you're just adding fractions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 and 5/24

OpenStudy (anonymous):
