To add fractions with unlike denominators, we need to find a common denominator and then add the numerators.
The common denominator for 720 and 35 is 5.
To make 720 have a denominator of 5, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 5 (720/1 * 5/5 = 3600/5).
To make 35 have a denominator of 5, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by 1 (35/1 * 1/1 = 35/1).
Now we can add the fractions:
3600/5 + 35/1 = 3600/5 + 175/5 = (3600 + 175)/5 = 3775/5.
The simplified fraction is 3775/5, which can be further reduced to 755.
Therefore, the answer is 755.
