1 answer

To find the sum of two fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 24.

Converting the fractions:
2/3 = (2/3) x (8/8) = 16/24
3/8 = (3/8) x (3/3) = 9/24

Adding the fractions:
16/24 + 9/24 = (16 + 9) / 24 = 25/24

Therefore, the sum of 2/3 and 3/8 is 25/24.
