Question

What does 2/3 + 7/8 equal

Answer 1

Answer: 1 13/24

Explanation:

We need to convert 2/3 and 7/8 to have a common denominator. They both have a common denominator of 24 so...

We convert:

2/3 x 8/8=16/24

7/8 x 3/3 = 21/24

Then we add:

16/24 + 21/24 =37/21

Then we convert to a mixed number:

37/24= 1 13/24
