Answer:


(9)/(14)

Explanation:

1) find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 7,2.


lcd = 14

2) Make the denominators the same as the LCD.


(1 * 2)/(7 * 2) + (1 * 7)/(2 * 7)

3) Simplify. Denominators are now the same.


(2)/(14) + (7)/(14)

4) Join the denominators.


(2 + 7)/(14)

5) Simplify 2 + 7 to 9.


(9)/(14)

Therefor, the answer is 9/14.

Answer: 9/14

Explanation. First, you have to find the least common denominator. The least common denominator is the lowest number you can use on the denominator to create a set of equivalent fractions

7 and 2 can both go into 14
Whatever number you use to multiply to equal 14, you do the same to the top.
It would look like this.

2/14 + 7/14
Then you add.

2/14 + 7/14= 9/14
You can’t simplify this fraction so this is your answer. Hope this helped!
