1 answer

To add these fractions, we first need to find a common denominator. The smallest common multiple of 3 and 8 is 24.

So, let's rewrite the fractions with the common denominator of 24:

2/3 = (2/3) * (8/8) = 16/24

3/8 = (3/8) * (3/3) = 9/24

Now, we can add the fractions:

16/24 + 9/24 = (16 + 9)/24 = 25/24

Therefore, the sum of 2/3 and 3/8 is 25/24.
