Math help PLEASE!!!!?

Question

Complete the operation and simplify if able

5/14 + 8/28

Answer 1

okay first you need to find the common denominator, you can do this by multiplying 5/14 by two.

in this case the problem would now read:

10/28+8/28

then all you need to do is finish the problem, and your final answer should be 18/28.

Also if you want to you can simplify your answer and make it 9/14.

hope this helps : )

Answer 2

multiply the first fraction by 2, so that it becomes:

10/28 + 8/28

then add: 18/28

and simplify: 9/14

enjoy =)
