Answer:

1 3/35

Explanation:

1. A simple way of doing this is simply making the denominators (bottom number of the fraction) equal!

To do this, we must multiply both the numerator and the denominator of one fraction, by the denominator of the other fraction.

So:

11/14

11 x 10 = 110

14 x 10 = 140

11/14 = 110/140

3/10

3 x 14 = 42

10 x 14 = 140

3/10 = 42/140

2. Now we can use our new numbers to easily add.

110/140 + 42/140

= 152/140

3. Now we can reduce!

152 and 140 are both divisible by 4! So let's reduce them by dividing 4 from both numbers (152 and 140).

152/4 = 38

140/4 = 35

152/140 = 38/35

4. Now let's change this improper fraction into a proper fraction!

38/35

= 1 3/35
