Hello There!

We are going to be finding the sum of 5/7 and 2/7

STEP 1 We already have common denominators so now, it's just about adding what we already have.

STEP 2 Add 5 and 2 together and you will get a sum of 7 and your denominator will be left alone.

STEP 3 We will get a answer of 7/7 which is the same thing as 1.

Your Answer Is 1
