Question

Add the following fractions by drawing them 3/8 +1/3​

Answer 1

`(17)/(24)`

Explanation:

Convert the fractions so that their denominators are the same, then add:

`\frac38+\frac13=(3 * 3)/(8 * 3)+(1 * 8)/(3* 8)=(9)/(24)+(8)/(24)=(17)/(24)`

Answer 2

`\sf (17)/(24)`

Explanation:

`\sf (3)/(8) +(1)/(3)`

the largest multiple of 8 and 3 is 24, make the denominator same

`\sf (3(3))/(8) +(1(8))/(3)`

expand

`\sf (9)/(24) +(8)/(24)`

simplify, join both fractions

`\sf (17)/(24)`
