Answer:

11

Explanation:

1. Input the variables into the expression. It should look like 3/7*14+5/8*8. 3/7 and 5/8 are fractions.

2. Reduce 7 and 14 with their greatest common factor, 7. This should simplify the expression to 3*2+5/8*8.

3. Reduce the two 8's with their greatest common factor, 8. This should simplify the expression to 3*2+5.

4. Multiply 3 and 2. This should give you, 6.

5. Add 6 and 5. The final answer is 11.
