simplify the fractions 7/8 and 2/3 find the common denominatior which would be 24. so 2 times 8 = 16 and 7 times 3 = 21 so 3 16/24 and 5 21/24 is 8 24/24 which would be 9
so 5+3 is 8 then you can multiply both 8 and 3 (denominators) to get 24 it would then turn in to 3 21/24 and 5 16/24 add it and it would be 8 37/24 simplify it if you need to
