Find the sum: 7/8+1/3
To find the sum of these fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 3 is 24.
First, we convert 7/8 into a fraction with a denominator of 24:
7/8 * 3/3 = 21/24
Then, we convert 1/3 into a fraction with a denominator of 24:
1/3 * 8/8 = 8/24
Now we can add the fractions:
21/24 + 8/24 = (21 + 8)/24 = 29/24
Thus, the sum of 7/8 and 1/3 is 29/24.
To find the sum 7/8 + 1/3, we can first find a common denominator.
The denominators of the two fractions are 8 and 3. To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 8 and 3, we list the multiples of each number until we find the first common multiple:
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32
Multiples of 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
The LCM of 8 and 3 is 24.
Next, we'll rewrite each fraction with the common denominator of 24:
7/8 = (7/8) * (3/3) = 21/24
1/3 = (1/3) * (8/8) = 8/24
Now we can add the fractions:
21/24 + 8/24 = (21 + 8) / 24 = 29/24
Therefore, the sum of 7/8 + 1/3 is 29/24.
