What is the sum of 1 2/3+ one and 7/8
To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator.
The common denominator of 3 and 8 is 24.
To make 2/3 have a denominator of 24, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 8: (2/3) * (8/8) = 16/24.
To make 7/8 have a denominator of 24, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3: (7/8) * (3/3) = 21/24.
Now, we can add the two fractions with the same denominator:
1 2/3 + 1 + 7/8 = 1 + 2/3 + 7/8 = 1 + 16/24 + 21/24 = 1 + (16 + 21)/24 = 1 + 37/24
Now we need to simplify this mixed number. Dividing 37 by 24 gives us 1 remainder 13.
Therefore, the sum is: 1 + 13/24.
Hence, the sum 1 2/3 + 1 + 7/8 is equal to 1 13/24.
