Answer:

8 13/28 or as a decimal: 8.46

Explanation:

Rewrite the sum:

(4+3)+(5/7+3/4)

Add the numbers 4+3:

7+(5/7+3/4)

Add the fractions:

7+41/28

Convert the improper fraction into a mixed number:

7 + 1 13/28

Write the mixed number as a sum of the whole number and the fractional part:

7+1+13/28

Add the numbers 7+1 and then there is your answer!

8 13/28

If your paper, quiz, homework, etc says decimal form or alternative form then the decimal form is 8.46 and the alternate form is 237/26. But 8 13/28 cannot be reduced any lower.
