To add 3 5/7 and 7 1/2, you need to find a common denominator for the fractions. In this case, the common denominator is 14.
Converting 3 5/7 to an improper fraction:
3 5/7 = (3 * 7 + 5)/7 = 26/7
Converting 7 1/2 to an improper fraction:
7 1/2 = (7 * 2 + 1)/2 = 15/2
Now you can add the fractions:
26/7 + 15/2 = (26 * 2 + 15 * 7)/(7 * 2) = (52 + 105)/14 = 157/14
So, the sum is 11 3/14.
