Answer:

5/14

Explanation:

Steps for adding fractions

Find the least common denominator or LCM of the two denominators:

LCM of 14 and 7 is 14

Next, find the equivalent fraction of both fractional numbers with denominator 14

For the 1st fraction, since 14 × 1 = 14,

3/14 = 3 × 1/14 × 1 = 3/14

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 7 × 2 = 14,

1/7 = 1 × 2/7 × 2 = 2/14

Add the two like fractions:

3/14 + 2/14 = 3 + 2/14 = 5/14

So, 3/14 + 1/7 = 5/14
