Question

Add the expressions with the same den (3)/(7)+(2)/(7)

Answer 1

To add (3/7) and (2/7), sum the numerators to get (3+2)/7, resulting in the final simplified form of 5/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To add the expressions with the same denominator (3/7) + (2/7), you simply add the numerators together and keep the denominator the same. You do not add the denominators. The denominators are common to both fractions, which allows for straightforward addition.

The addition process is as follows:

• You take the numerator of the first fraction, which is 3, and add it to the numerator of the second fraction, which is 2.
• Keep the common denominator of 7.
• Thus, (3/7) + (2/7) = (3+2)/7 = 5/7.

This results in a single fraction 5/7, which is the sum of the two fractions.
