Question

2/3 + 3/8 =

Answer 1

25/24 or 1 and 1/24

Answer 2

first find a common denominator

2/3 + 3/8 are not compatible.

their lowest common denominator is 24. So what do we do to get each fraction as something divided by 24?

2(8) / 3(8) + 3(3) / 8(3)

We now have 16/24 + 9/24, which we can now add to get 25/24 or 1 1/24 if you need a mixed number.
