Answer:
7 9/14
Explanation:
Combine the whole numbers and fractions together:
(5 + 2) + ( 1/2 + 1/7)
The whole numbers part is:
5 + 2 = 7
For the fractions part:
The Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 2 and 7 is 14. Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by whatever value will result in the denominator of each fraction being equal to the LCM:
1/2 + 1/7 = 1 × 7 + 1 × 2
--------- ------- = 7 /14 + 2/14 = 7 9/14
2 × 7 + 7 × 2
