Answer 1

`6/17`

Explanation:

I assume you want the question in the picture solved as your written question is different but appears to be copied and pasted from the text.

1. When adding fractions the denominator (number on the bottom) must be the same between the two fractions, i.e. having a common denominator. In this case they are already the same, that is, 17 and 17. Just add the top numbers (numerators) together, and leave the denominator the same. So,

`(3)/(17) +(3)/(17) =(6)/(17)`
