To add fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, we can use the least common multiple of the denominators, which is 3.
So, 5/? can be written as (5/1)(3/3) = 15/3?
And 3/? can be written as (3/1)(3/3) = 9/3?
Now we can add the fractions:
15/3? + 9/3? = (15 + 9)/3? = 24/3?
Simplifying, we get:
24/3? = 8/1
Therefore, 5/? + 3/? = 8/1 or simply 8.
Write 5/?+3/? as a single fraction
