Answer 1

Answer:

69/56

Step-by-step explanation:

=> LCM of 7 and 8 is 56

=> (6/7 × 8/8) + (3/8 × 7/7)

=> 48/56 + 21/56

=> 69/56

Answer 2

• We have to evaluate the above expression by using the given data.

          Given data:- $\frac{6}{7} +\frac{3}{8} .$

          To find:- Value of the given expression.

          Solution:-

• We will take the LCM of the denominators, and make denominators the same.

• We will Convert the given fractions to equivalent fractions with the denominator as the LCM.

• Adding the numerators over the denominators.

        Therefore,

               $\begin{array}{l}\frac{6}{7}+\frac{3}{8} \\=\frac{6 \times 8}{7 \times 8}+\frac{3 \times 7}{8 \times 7} \\=\frac{48}{56}+\frac{21}{56} \\=\frac{48+21}{56} \\=\frac{69}{56}\end{array}$

        Hence we will get the value $\frac{69}{56}.$
