Answer 1

take the LCM of 4,3,8 which is 24 then solve
(6+16+21)/24
=(22+21)/24
=43/24

Answer 2

$\dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{2}{3} + \dfrac{7}{8}$

.

STEP 1: Change all the denominators to be the same:

$= \dfrac{1 \times 6}{4 \times 6} + \dfrac{2 \times 8}{3 \times 8} + \dfrac{7 \times 3}{8 \times 3}$

$= \dfrac{6}{24} + \dfrac{16}{24} + \dfrac{21}{24}$

.

STEP 2: Combine into a single fraction:

$= \dfrac{6 + 16+ 21}{24}$

$= \dfrac{43}{24}$

.

STEP 3: Simplify:

$= 1\dfrac{19}{24}$
