Final answer:

To find the sum of fractions 3/1 and 5/3, we need to find a common denominator and add the numerators.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the sum of fractions 3/1 and 5/3, we first need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 1 and 3 is 3. So, we can rewrite the fractions as 3/1 = 9/3 and 5/3 = 5/3.

Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add the numerators. 9/3 + 5/3 = 14/3. The sum of 3/1 + 5/3 is 14/3.
