Answer:

26/12

simplify—>13/6

Explanation:

Find the LCD (lowest common denominator)

The LCD of these two fractions is 12. Convert them to their denominators.

5/3 *4/4 = 20/12

2/4 *3/3= 6/12

Then add! 6/12 + 20/12 = 26/12

Simplify —> 13/6

Using like denominators, we can turn this into 20/12 + 6/12, then you just add the numerators to get 26/12, then simplify to get 13/6
