∙•❁We are going to solve this step by step:


(13)/(56) + (5)/(7)


(13)/(56) + (40)/(56)


(13+40)/(56)

To do this, you have to change it into common denominators.  The common denominator is 56, in this case.  Multiply 5 by 8 because 56 divided by 7 is 8.  There fore you would be adding 13/56 and 40/56.  You would be 53/56.   This is already in simplest form.
