7

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( \frac{5}{7} + \frac{7}{1} \), we first need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 7 and 1 is 7.

Now, we can rewrite the fractions:

\[
\frac{5}{7} + \frac{7 \times 7}{1 \times 7} = \frac{5}{7} + \frac{49}{7}
\]

Now that they have the same denominator, we can add the fractions:

\[
\frac{5 + 49}{7} = \frac{54}{7}
\]

The fraction \(\frac{54}{7}\) cannot be simplified further, so the answer in simplest form is:

\[
\frac{54}{7}
\]

If you want to express it as a mixed number, it would be:

\[
7 \frac{5}{7}
\]
