7

3

+3

5

4

⇒ \frac{59}{7} + \frac{19}{5} ⇒

7

59

+

5

19

LCM of 7 and 5 is 35.

⇒ \frac{295 + 133}{35} ⇒

35

295+133

⇒ \frac{428}{35} ⇒

35

428

Therefore, The answer is 428/35

Answer 2

12 8/35

Explanation:

8 3/7= 59/7

3 4/5 = 19/5

in both fractions, denominators (7 and 5) aren't same. So calculate LCM of 7 and 5 which is 35

59/7+19/5 = (59*5 + 19*7)/35

(295 + 133)/35 = 428/35

if question is in mixed fraction (here 8 3/7 and 3 4/5 are mixed fractions), , answer will be in the same too

so 428/35 = 12 8/35 (where 12 is quotient, 8 is remainder and 35 is divisor)

please comment on if my ans is correct ?
