Answer:

25/56

Explanation:

3/7 + 1/56

We have to find the L.C.M of 7 and 56

The L.C.M of 7 and 56 is 56

Now, we have to change the denominators to 56

we dont need to change the denominator of 1/56 to 56 as it is already 56


(3)/(7) *
(8)/(8) =
(24)/(56)

Now we can add the fractions


(24)/(56) + (1)/(56)
= (25)/(56)

Hope it helped :>
