What is 13 over 6 plus 7 over 8?

Answer 1

It looks like you're adding two fractions: (13/6) and (7/8): 13/6+7/8....

First you need a common denominator between 6 and 8.

24 is the lowest common denominator.

Then multiply divide 24/6 = 4, and 24/8 = 3, so multiply (13/6)*(4/4) = 52/24, and (7/8)*(3/3) = 21/24.

Now with common denominators, you only need to add the numerators: 52 + 21 = 73. So the fraction 73/24 is the answer, as a mixed number : 3 1/24.
