ANSWER: 25/24

First find the LCM to create a common denominator. I used 24 as the denominator, so I multiplied the numerator and denominator in 2/3 by 8 giving me 16/24. I multiplied the numerator and the denominator in 3/8 by 3 giving me 9/24. Now, we can add them together. Add the numerators, and we get 25/24.
