Gabe: 7/28
8/28+7/28=15/28

Answer 2

The answer is 15/28

Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the given conditions, formulate 2/7+1/4
Expand the fraction to get the least common denominator 2x4/7x4 + 7/4x7
Calculate the product or quotient 8/7x4 + 7/4x7
Calculate the product or quotient 8/28 + 7/4x7
Calculate the product or quotient 8/28+7/28
Write the numerators over common denominator 8+7/28
Calculate the sum or difference 15/28
Convert to fraction 15/28
So the answer is 15/28
