Answer :
Given:
The sum of 7 over 6 and 5 over 8
To determine the sum of 7 over 6 and 5 over 8, we rewrite the given information first into:
[tex]\frac{7}{6}+\frac{5}{8}[/tex]Next, we note that the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 6 and 8 is 24 and to make the denominators the same as the LCD:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{7(4)}{6(4)}+\frac{5(3)}{8(3)} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, simplify:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{28}{24}+\frac{15}{24} \\ =\frac{43}{24} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the answer is 43/24.
