Question

Perform the indicated operation.
frac{2}{3} + frac{3}{8}

A frac{5}{24}

B 1 frac{1}{24}

C 1 frac{5}{24}

Answer 1

$\frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{8} =$
$\frac{2 \times 8}{3 \times 8} + \frac{3 \times 3}{8 \times 3} =$
$\frac{16}{24} + \frac{9}{24} = \frac{25}{24} = 1 \frac{1}{24}$
So; the answer is: B 1 1/24.
