Given:

The sum of 7 over 6 and 5 over 8

To determine the sum of 7 over 6 and 5 over 8, we rewrite the given information first into:


(7)/(6)+(5)/(8)

Next, we note that the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 6 and 8 is 24 and to make the denominators the same as the LCD:


\begin{gathered} (7(4))/(6(4))+(5(3))/(8(3)) \\ \end{gathered}

Then, simplify:


\begin{gathered} =(28)/(24)+(15)/(24) \\ =(43)/(24) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is 43/24.
