Answer 1

To add 3 5/7 and 7 1/2 together, we start by adding the whole numbers: 3 + 7 = 10.

Next, we add the fractions. Since the fractions have different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 7 and 2 is 14.

Converting 5/7 to have 14 as the denominator:
(5/7) * (2/2) = 10/14

Converting 1/2 to have 14 as the denominator:
(1/2) * (7/7) = 7/14

Now we can add the fractions: 10/14 + 7/14 = 17/14

Putting the whole number and fraction together, the sum is:
10 3/14
